“That was a crazy like atmosphere. I mean it felt good to win the match and be done with it. It was ridiculous, I couldn’t even like, I mean most of the times I tossed the ball to serve, I just expect to catch it again because someone would scream or say some shit. It was not cool. It was fun to celebrate afterwards. When I get really fired up, I get angry, I play much better tennis,” said Taylor Fritz in the interview while talking about the moment.
