"Every single time I step up, I'll try to get an ace," Fritz told ATPTour.com at the Australian Open. "Maybe there's an exception that if conditions are really slow and the balls are worn out, I might be thinking where can I serve that gives me the best chance of starting the point if it's not an ace. But I think I'm always stepping up to try to get a free point off the serve."
Fritz’s dominance from the line was put on full display last year in Stuttgart, where the American went unbroken across 43 service games to lift the trophy. He crushed 45 aces that week and only faced four break points all tournament.
Does Fritz feel he has a better chance to fire an ace if the returner is standing close to the baseline or far back?
“It depends on the speed and the conditions. I'd say a pretty neutral position feels good," Fritz said. "I feel people who stand up are very easy to ace, but if they get a racquet on it, then the return that comes back is much tougher to deal with.
“If they're back, I feel they might return more, but the second shot feels much easier. So it's tough to say.”
A 10-time tour-level titlist, Fritz reached a career-high No. 4 in the PIF ATP Rankings in November 2024, two months after he competed in his first major final at the US Open. In 2025, Fritz qualified for the prestigious Nitto ATP Finals for the third time.
