Báez talks about his viral controversy with Fritz at the United Cup
In the middle of the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, Sebastián Baez recalled in an interview with Diario Olé his controversy with Taylor Fritz at the United Cup. After hitting a lob, the American tennis player gestured that the Argentine was too small, but it was Báez who ended up winning that match. "Beating Fritz was tremendously motivating because of everything I had been carrying. Until that day, I felt like I couldn't win a set against him. I didn't see the gesture at the moment, I saw it the next day and said 'thank goodness I won.' After seeing what he did, the feeling of beating him was even more satisfying," he confessed.
