The 2019 season was not a bad one for Taylor Fritz, who won his first ATP tournament at Eastbourne, wintering in 32nd place in the world rankings, earning him a place in the seeded list at the Australian Open. Recently, Fritz was at the Davis Cup final tournament in Madrid in use, where lost as the number one United States against Denis Shapovalov, but defeated Matteo Berrettini but a man from the top ten.
At the ATP Cup in early 2020, Fritz will be the second-best American player to enter the race and John Isner will give you a leading role. As number three, Reilly Opelka travels to Perth. Just that had left in the run no good hair at the event . In the group stage, the Americans meet Italy, Russia and Norway.

Talking to the ATP website, Fritz now dared to look ahead to the event, which will kick off on January 3 in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. "It's going to be an incredible new event for the fans and players," said the 22-year-old. "Each match is important for the outcome, whether the US make it into the top eight." From the quarter-finals will be played in Sydney, a total of 24 nations participate in the premiere.
Fritz also celebrated his premiere last year at the Laver Cup. For someone who likes to play in a team, of course a very special experience. "Most of the time we play for ourselves and at the end of the year we are judged by their position in the ATP rankings. But we do not often play as a team where other players cheer on you from the sideline. When you play for your country, there is a lot of extra energy when you win or lose. But I have found that helps me. It's going to be awesome to play alongside John at the Laver Cup in September. "
