Fritz Reflects On Us Open Final Loss: The Disappointment Will Never Go Away

Taylor Fritz opened up about the lingering disappointment from his loss in the 2024 US Open final, admitting that the emotional weight of that defeat will likely never fade. Despite having his best Grand Slam run to date, the American couldn’t deliver the performance he had hoped for against Jannik Sinner, losing in straight sets.

Fritz, who felt he was playing the best tennis of his career, acknowledged his regret: “It’s not disappointment about losing, it’s disappointment about just believing or wishing that I would’ve just played a better match if I lost.”

Following the final, Fritz candidly shared how he fell into harmless yet destructive habits like overeating and playing video games all day to cope with the defeat. Although he reassured fans that this was his typical way of decompressing, the disappointment remains a powerful force, likely lingering until he achieves the elusive Grand Slam title.
