Taylor Fritz, who was stopped in the second round of Wimbledon by Mikael Ymer, swore a stranger following his Twitch stream, per a video posted on Reddit.”Finally back. I mean finally back to Twitch. Happy I lost? Get the fuk out of here.
There’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be right now rather than Wimbledon right now,” said Fritz.
Taylor Fritz’ pressure problems
The American tennis star lost against Ymer after winning the first two sets. One may argument that he did so because of not being in the right mental zone.
In Netflix’ Break Point, Fritz admitted that he confronted pressure-related problems on the court. “It’s so much, the expectations, that I can’t think properly on the court. I can’t strategize properly. I can’t make the right decision.
I’ve got too much to lose. How bad it would be to lose this first round? I’m playing too much not to lose. Not playing enough to win. If you are scared to lose, then that’s where things fall apart,” Fritz said in Break Point. “People actually had me as, like, one of the favorites to win the event.I believed it,” Fritz added.In Break Point, Fritz was also shown talking to his team afterward.
“It’s always really tough when you put a lot of expectations on one specific tournament. I always say I don’t like doing that, I like to just play every tournament like it’s the same.The reality is, obviously, it’s not the same.
There’s four tournaments that are substantially more important than all the other ones. So, you know, that sucks, but just a bad match,” Fritz said.
