Taylor Fritz announces serious physical problem: American men’s tennis drop in Slams

Taylor Fritz’s defeat in the Wimbledon quarterfinals against Lorenzo Musetti risks having annoying after-effects for the American tennis player. The young Italian will face Novak Djokovic tomorrow for a place in the final of the Championships, while Fritz will have to start recovering from osteitis pubis.

Fritz clearly lost the final set with a score of 6-1, after 5 sets of battle. The American, in a press conference, said he was worried about his health conditions, and confessed that he has osteitis pubis and that he has to work hard in view of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will begin on Saturday 27 July on the clay of the Roland Garros Stadium.

“I’m a little worried about how clay courts will affect me. I don’t know how many people know this, but my injury at the French Open was probably worse than it looked. It’s an injury that bothers me a lot more when I slide, spreading my legs too much. I’ll go back to the physio immediately and try to work as hard as I can to be competitive on clay as well. But I’m a little worried about how this transition will affect my body,” he explained.

Fritz, disappointed by his defeat in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon against Lorenzo Musetti, has as mentioned confessed to having osteitis pubis and having a lot on his mind in view of his return to clay for the Olympics at Roland Garros. The American tennis player expressed in a press conference his desire to immediately turn the page after the defeat against the Italian tennis player and that he intends to focus on the Olympic Games in Paris. Although he said he was very worried about his injury, pubalgia, and how clay courts could affect the problem.

Meanwhile, for 82 editions an American tennis player has failed to win a Slam title in the men’s singles: the last one was Andy Roddick at the 2003 US Open. Numbers that are starting to become worrying.
