Currently ranked no.136, Taylor is doing everything fast; the American is already married to fellow tennis player Racquel Pedraza, and in January he was already blessed with a baby boy that, according to the youngster, he didn’t affect much his life.
Taylor about his life
During a recent interview, the American commented
“Nothing’s really changed at all for me (since becoming a father). My wife’s been handling everything. She handles all of the off-court stuff so I can be on court more than I was before.
I wake up at 7:00. I get breakfast. I drive to Carson where I train. I practice about two-and-a-half hours, get lunch, practice another two hours, go to the gym. Some days I go to physical therapy to get some work done, and then I’ll be home at, like, 9:00 at night and I go to sleep.
My life really hasn’t changed too much because of how my wife has really stepped up. She’s really just; she’s really just doing everything she can for me and for my tennis.”
Fritz will now play Malek Jaziri for a place in the Indian Wells 4th round.
