Taylor Fritz, currently ranked ninth in the world, has been playing outstanding tennis this year. Having performed consistently throughout the year, bar the US Open, he recently cracked the top 10 in the ATP rankings. Although his poor showing at the US Open was a major disappointment, the American rising star has kept his down and worked hard to achieve his current ranking. Before Fritz was seen as the next best thing in American tennis, he had a funny interaction during an on-court interview.

Fans went crazy over the confusion between Taylor Swift and Taylor Fritz
Taylor Fritz squared off against Juan Martin del Potro in an exhibition match at The Boodle in 2018. While the match was close, del Potro emerged victorious 15-13 in a super tie-break. Later, during the post-match interview, the interviewer mistook Taylor Fritz for Taylor Swift. Tennis fans worldwide went crazy and had a thing or two to say about the incident.
