Is Taylor Fritz's hair color change a sign of a mid-career crisis or just harmless fun?

America’s Taylor Fritz surely needs styling tips from his social media influencer girlfriend. Despite making a mark this season, the ATP star’s attempt to try a new look went completely wrong. The American thought of it to surprise his followers and tried his best to have a grand reveal of the look in the ATP Masters 1000 event. However, it didn’t take him long to walk back his new look leaving fans with a question: What made his mind change?

Fritz changed his look again. Before appearing in the 2024 Rolex Paris Masters Final, he colored his hair blonde which almost shook the fraternity. The American star played against Britain’s Jack Draper and lost in the R32 6(6)-7(8), 6-4, 4-6. After Indian Wells, it was Frit’s second run at the ATP Masters 1000 event. The world no. 6 caught attention of media for his hair color while practicing in Paris. Previously, he kept his look hidden under a hat for a few days until taking it on full display in the City of Love.

Upon returning from Paris, Fritz shared a photo on his IG story. He uploaded a laid-back selfie in a white t-shirt, and his black hair was visible again. “WERE SO BACK,” was the caption, which hinted both at Fritz’s homecoming and his return to his old look. The ATP number 6 was asked several questions about why he decided on this color and his response was intriguing and funny.

A lot of people asking me why? … No reason other than I just thought it would be funny. After seeing all the reactions and overreactions, I was right, it’s hilarious,” he wrote on his official Instagram. In Paris, he was asked how long it took him to decide to bleach his hair. “Oh, years. I feel like I have polled it every year at the Australian Open,” Fritz said who previously held an Instagram poll for followers to decide whether he should color his hair blonde. However, he also confirmed disliking the look afterward. “I thought it was funny. I expected to just buzz it if I hated it, but I don’t hate it,” he concluded.

However, when he was asked whether blondes are more fun, he had an interesting answer. “You know, we haven’t… we’re gonna have to wait and see, but hopefully,” he said. Despite his statement dropping a sly hint about him keeping the look, Fritz ultimately changed it and returned to his old look.
