Taylor Fritz, known for his love of video games, recently shared a lighthearted moment during a live stream. While discussing his gaming habits, he joked about how they might intersect with his rivalry against Carlos Alcaraz.
The playful strategy
Fritz explained that Alcaraz enjoys playing Teamfight Tactics and that he has been talking to him about League of Legends. “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,” Fritz said.
Humor in competition
With a laugh, Fritz added that if Alcaraz became deeply hooked on League of Legends, it might affect his tennis. “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.
