Alex Michelsen caused one of the surprises of Indian Wells 2026 by eliminating the 2022 champion and one of the contenders to go far: Taylor Fritz. The American defeated his compatriot (6-4, 7-6) thanks to his great serve. In the press conference following his victory, he spoke about what it means to defeat Fritz: "To beat someone like Taylor, you have to go out there and have a lot of energy. I think that's also my style. I'm one of those guys who shows a bit more energy, a bit more positivity and negativity, in both ways. And then the match strategy was to try to take away his strengths, because he's very good at hitting the ball, scoring a lot of points. I was just trying to take that away as much as I could," confessed the American before facing Daniil Medvedev in the round of 16.

Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina conquered the Indian Wells 2026 Tie Break Tens, reaffirming the title they won last year. The pair prevailed in the final against Learner Tien and Amanda Anisimova by 10-7. This exhibition tournament prior to the Masters 1000 brings together eight mixed pairs and is played with a unique format: matches consisting solely of a super tie-break to 10 points. Among the participating duos were standout combinations such as Iga Swiatek alongside Casper Ruud or Jasmine Paolini with Matteo Berrettini.

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.

Carlos Alcaraz has not held back when expressing his opinion about the clock that controls the time between points during serves, which sometimes leads to unnecessary warnings. Taylor Fritz has also been asked about this, and he has a slightly more neutral view. "I think sometimes we could be a bit smarter with this, even though the clock starts automatically after the point. In the past, I had problems when it was the referees who started it because I felt that some referees did it faster than others.

"Now, being automatic, when the point ends, it simply starts. It doesn't really depend on the referee. As I said, I think there might be some leeway to play with it in certain situations, like when someone finishes the point on the farthest side of the court, at the net, and has to go for the towel because sometimes there simply isn't enough time," he acknowledged in a press conference.

The good Taylor Fritz became thoughtful at the Media Day of Indian Wells 2026, although it is also true that he was asked a question to elaborate. What has changed in your professional career in the last decade? It's not easy to answer this question on the spot, but the American took the chance and left us with these words.

“Many things have changed since I turned professional, in the last four years I have made a radical change, especially in the way I do things, how I prepare for matches, and how I enter a tournament. I feel like a different man, my career has shifted in the last two years compared to the previous six on tour. I am always trying to learn new things, although now the battle is entirely physical, the fight to return to where I was before. It's about practicing every day, continuing to improve and spending time on the court, it's about giving your best every day, being able to give your all physically in every match,” said the champion of this tournament in 2022.

During a live streaming while playing video games, Taylor Fritz has spoken about the privileges that top-ranked players get at each tournament. "The players who really take advantage when requesting match schedules are those higher in the rankings. If Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic are playing, they will get the times they want. Typically, there are three or four players with top priority that day, but I don't compete with those on the other side of the draw because they don't play on the same day as me."

"I'm more or less third priority, so I can't choose the schedule if I play on the center court, but if I play, for instance, on court two, I can request something like: 'don't schedule me first, but also not during the night session.' And that's the extent of my maneuvering. However, when I have to play against one of these big names, they call the shots. If I'm up against Novak and he wants to play at night, they'll schedule me for a night match," he concluded.

Taylor Fritz is passionate about video games, and in the middle of a live stream, he joked about a possible strategy to hook Carlos Acaraz and thus have more chances of beating him. "Carlos loves to play. He's willing to play Teamfight Tactics and I've been talking to him a bit about League of Legends, to see if he gets excited and hooked as well. Hey, if he gets really hooked on LOL... maybe that increases my chances of beating him. If he becomes addicted or something, it might affect him and make him play worse. Although well, there's also the possibility that he plays even better. Who knows," he concluded with laughter.
