MIAMI, Fla. — It’s decision time for Taylor Fritz. After months of struggling with tendinitis, the 28-year-old is weighing an extended break from tennis to allow his knee to heal.
The top American spoke to the press ahead of the Miami Open presented by Itau, where he opened up about his condition—one that has improved and regressed from week to week and even day to day.

“I’m still managing my knee. Some days it’s better than others, and I don’t know why exactly,” Fritz explained.
“In Dallas, for example, it felt amazing and it didn’t bother me at all the whole tournament. I felt like I was moving great. And then, in the lead-in to Indian Wells, it wasn’t. It felt like I almost regressed a little bit. Same thing happened in Australia, as well.”
Last year, Fritz described his knee as “completely cooked” after losing a long round-robin match against Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals in Turin.
