Top-ranked American Taylor Fritz opened up on his new mindset when competing at major and important tournaments.
The World No.9 has been in excellent form during the summer hardcourt season, winning 9 out of 11 matches, including a title run at the Atlanta Open. Fritz hopes to keep the momentum going, as he's currently competing at the Cincinnati Open.

Fritz believes his success is related to his confidence

With the US Open just a few weeks ago, the 25-year old was asked about the importance of achieving substantial results prior to a Grand Slam event.
"It’s always good for confidence, but I had a lot of confidence going into the US Open last year, and it didn't work out for me," admitted Fritz. "I had zero confidence going into Atlanta, and I won Atlanta, so at this point, it is what it is. I just need to care less probably and hopefully I’ll play better.”
Fritz suffered a disappointing first round loss at last year's event in New York, and will be the top-seeded American at this year's event.
