As Prizmic was reestablishing himself, the likes of Jakub Mensik, Joao Fonseca and Learner Tien were busy producing at the top tier of the sport. Prizmic notes this grouping in his generation “now have a consistency and a level which they won’t go below”, while staying his own lane and continuing to run a race that requires everyone to find their own gains.
“I am improving my service and play at the net. I used to be quite defensive and now I am trying to improve that instead of playing long rallies,” he shares.
“Of course, we all want to prove ourselves and be as good as possible in tennis, but I’m not thinking about that at the moment. My goal is to play as well as possible and to perform in the biggest tournaments.”
Prizmic points to mental strength as one quality he takes pride in, with physical preparation as the area he’d like to most see himself push further. Coming off qualifying for the US Open and a December appearance at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah, Prizmic currently finds himself back at Melbourne Park after dividing a pre-season in Zagreb and Dubai that was “pretty similar as last year, just with different technical emphasis.”
