Taylor Fritz celebrating his efforts

With the Monte-Carlo Masters underway, let’s take a look at some memorable shots from the American competitor Taylor Fritz.

Smashing through at 11 seconds into the video is a superb strike from the American star. After an intense rally against Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, the 25-year-old won the point with a super shot. The star quickly ran to the back of the court and produced an excellent winner.

Back at it again, at 34 seconds into the video, the American produces a magnificent two-handed backhand shot. “He’s hit some excellent backhands around Maxime Cressy today, and that was the best of them,” said the commentator, and we can agree that was excellent.

Speed, focus, and aggression sum up this next shot at 01:18. Fritz was squaring up with Rafael Nadal as the two returned some quick-thinking shots, only for the American to claim the point after his excellent reaction.

Fritz is the name, and tennis is his game. The American will surely stun viewers with this cheeky shot at 01:45. The star showed off his talent with a well-placed shot that just makes it over the net and out of reach of his opponent. “Oh, gotcha.” said the commentator, because that shot was truly unexpected.

Scoring in style with this one at 02:06, Fritz shows his confidence with some flairy no-look shots that absolutely stun the crowd.

Racing in after an incredible rally, Fritz delivers a devious dink at 03:18 to catch out his opponent and grab the point. The pair had certainly provided some excellent viewing, with some outrageous shots to keep the rally going, but Fritz found another gear to place a pinpoint shot that was too perfect to counter.

A shot for the history books makes its appearance at 03:29. Not only did this shot win him his first Masters 1000 trophy, but he was also the first American champion there since Andre Agassi in 2001, that’s 21 years apart. You can just see how much it meant to him as he celebrated his success.

Blink, and you’ll miss it; this next shot blasts through at 04:37. The American made a powerful return shot from Andy Murray’s serve, and we must say it was a remarkable effort. “Well, that could be up there at the end of the year with one of the biggest forehands.” said the commentator.

Fritz favours the bold in this next shot at 04:59. Another cheeky dink from the American, who cushions the ball just over the net to claim a well-deserved point.

Dive into this next shot with Fritz at 05:26. After a journey of a rally, the American pulls out all the stops and grabs the point with a devoted diving effort and an outstretched racket.

This next shot, at 06:36, will surely spark your excitement. An excellent piece of improvisation from the American who sends the shot between his legs to secure a well-deserved point.

Call him the American sniper because this next shot, at 07:45, certainly had the precision of one. The 25-year-old sends a pinpoint shot down the line, inches from going out. “Oh yes. Wins it in style Taylor Fritz.” said the commentator. We can easily side with him because that was very stylish.
