"It’s more beneficial for rankings and stuff to be winning tournaments": Fritz likes consistent style despite dubbing rankings 'boom or bust'

“It’s nice that that level can put me in the top 10. I felt like last year I was very, like, boom or bust. Either playing really good on a week and I could just go win the tournament or I would just lose in the first or second round.”

“So it is nice to feel more consistent, but also, the way the tour, the points and everything works, it does kind of reward that boom-or-bust style a bit more. It’s more beneficial for rankings and stuff to be winning tournaments than being very consistent every week, making quarters, semis,” added Fritz.

“So hopefully I can take it, you know, couple steps further than quarter-finals and have some of those really big results like I did last year. It’s nice to definitely be just more consistent in general.”, concluded world No. 10.
