Taylor Fritz reacts after being put in No Entry section for ATP Finals poster by Djokovic and Alcaraz: "They did me dirty"

Taylor Fritz commented that he felt snubbed in the poster for the ATP Finals, which featured the eight qualified players, including Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

The American had an impressive year with a record of 54 wins and 23 losses, securing two ATP 250 titles in Delray Beach and the Atlanta Open. Fritz had the chance to qualify for the ATP Finals until the last tournament of the year but had to withdraw in the second round due to injury, paving the way for Daniel Altmaier.

Despite finishing the year just over 300 points behind the 8th-placed Holger Rune, Fritz will not be able to defend the points from last year. However, he still closes the year in the top 10 for the second consecutive year.

A post from Tennis TV featured an illustration of the qualified players, including Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev, and Holger Rune at the airport, ready to take on the challenge in Turin. The image also showed Taylor Fritz and Hubert Hurkacz at the departure gate, prompting Fritz's response:

“Nah common,” the American wrote on X.

“They did me dirty,” he joked on his Instagram story, taking things in stride.
