Taylor Fritz can’t remember the exact score. But the broad strokes of the match remain seared on to his mind, more than a decade later: he was around 14, and he lost. ‘Pretty routinely,’ the American recalls.
What he didn’t find out until recently? There was more riding on the match than ranking points and a spot in the next round. His opponent that day, Tommy Paul, had made a side bet with rival Frances Tiafoe.
‘Him and Frances went on for a match at the exact same time - Tommy to play me, Frances to play someone else,’ Fritz explains. ‘And they were having a race to see who could win first. It wasn't even a question of if he was going to win or not. It was just who could do it faster.’
