Taylor Fritz will take on Daniil Medvedev later today in the Diriyah Cup final and winning it was always a goal for him as he never plays an event with the purpose of not winning it.
Taylor Fritz experienced a fair share of success in 2022 winning a couple of events and he's not planning on going back. The American is in the final of the first event he played since tennis restarted and he plans to win it. It's not anything different for him than usual because he always aims to win the event he's playing in:
"Anytime I go to an event, exhibition or ATP event, I am going to be trying to win it."
Beating Norrie was tough admitted Fritz after the match:
"It was very back and forth. I kept going up a mini-break, he kept getting it back. I don't know. I played some long points, got away with some scrappy points. It was a bit windy out here, so both of us were playing a bit safer. He made some mistakes and I was able to just stay solid."
Adding:
"I think playing Cam is tough because you do have to be patient. But the second I get the opportunity to go for a shot, I have to go for it with him because he always moves me around a lot and he will beat me to the punch if I am too patient."
