An American from San Diego At the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin: Taylor Fritz.

A few days before the start of the tennis event of the year, the ATP Finals, which since last year have moved from London to Turin, the city where I come from and where I achieved my greatest tennis successes, the Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, number one in the world and also first in the Race at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, had to stop due to a physical problem during the quarter-finals of the Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy. The Spaniard was forced to retire when he was at 6-3, 6-6 withdrawn —after an hour and forty minutes of play, allowing Danish Holger Rune to get through the round. In a tweet, he later announced his renunciation of the Nitto ATP Finals and the Davis Cup.

In his place the American Taylor Fritz, the ninth player of the Race. In the absence of Italians in this year's edition, I will cheer for him because Taylor is from San Diego, the American city I love most and where I currently live and am completing my studies at San Diego State University.

We remind you that the APT Finals that will take place from Sunday, 13 November to Sunday, 20 November 2022, in Italy, in the Piedmontese capital, represent the most crucial professional tournament of the year after the four Grand Slams. This event is accessed by the top eight players of the ATP singles and doubles rankings. For Taylor Fritz, this is a significant occasion that crowns a vital year, certainly the best of his career, which saw him a winner at the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells, the ATP 500 in Tokyo, and the ATP 250 in Eastbourne.

The mother, Kathy May, like the other six sisters, began playing on the home court of the California villa. However, she did better than the others. Kathy May was, in fact, number ten in the world when Steffi Graff and Chris Evert competed on fields all over the world. A player devoted to attacking and endowed with a considerable right who, in addition to having won a few tournaments, reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon but never pushed her son too hard.

Dad, Guy Fritz, also came to play professionally. Guy reached number 301 on the ATP rankings and ended his career in 1981, preferring to pursue a career as a coach. Obviously, in partnership with his wife, he was Taylor's first coach. However, Guy has also coached tennis players of the caliber of Coco Vandeweghe. 

A charismatic character, a true professional, currently Head Coach of the College of the Desert tennis team in Palm Desert, California. A professional that I had the pleasure of knowing and appreciating his qualities as a coach had met with my San Diego City College tennis team, the team he directed in the spring of this year during the Conference. The Roadrunners team finished the 2022 season as the top team in the State, winning their 16th CCCAA State Men's Tennis Championship.

Good luck, Taylor, and say hello to my country Italy and my city Turin!
