Fritz, after his defeat to Michelsen: "I want to be a little more aggressive on shots that are not so easy"

Taylor Fritz has been one of the few seeds unable to continue at Indian Wells. The 2022 champion lost to a very effective Alex Michelsen with his serve. Therefore, after his defeat, the Californian did not show much self-criticism: "I didn't feel very good out there, but, you know, when I warmed up before today's match, I felt great. I thought I was hitting the ball wonderfully. I think an important factor was the wind. It picked up a lot between the warm-up and when I started playing."

"It's tough, but I'm doing many things right. I think I'm serving better than ever. Again, I think today's wind made it a bit harder than usual for me to place the ball where I wanted. But I want to be a little more aggressive on the shots that are not so easy, meaning, increase the aggressiveness on balls that maybe I don't feel very comfortable attacking, because they are, I suppose, a bit better than neutral balls. I would also like to return and move a little better. I think that's what I need to get back to my usual level because I think I'm serving as well as ever, really," stated the American.
