Taylor Fritz, the No. 4 seed at Wimbledon 2025, opened up about the challenges of balancing his professional tennis career with fatherhood after a grueling second-round win (3-6, 6-3, 7-6(0), 4-6, 6-3) over Gabriel Diallo. At a press conference, Fritz highlighted the emotional toll of being away from his son, Jordan, born in 2017 to him and ex-wife Raquel Pedraza. “I wish the season were shorter… every time I get to go home, I try to maximize the time I can spend with my son,” he said, noting logistical barriers prevent bringing Jordan on tour. Fritz’s candid remarks echo sentiments from players like Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka, who have spoken about the strain of frequent travel and family separation. Despite these challenges, Fritz’s resilience shone through, as he became the third top-five seed in the Open Era to reach Wimbledon’s third round via two five-set victories. #TaylorFritz #tennis #GabrielDiallo
