Taylor Fritz discloses who exactly is providing him emotional support amid multiple injury withdrawal

Taylor Fritz disclosed who helped him with emotional support during his multiple withdrawals from the tour due to injury. He has been battling an abdominal injury since before the 2025 Dallas Open in February.

Despite the pain and injury, Fritz competed at the Delray Beach Open, making it to the quarterfinals before being defeated by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He then went on to participate in two ATP Masters 1000 hard court tournaments - the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open.

In California, the World No. 4 triumphed over Matteo Gigante and Alejandro Tabilo in the second and third rounds, respectively, before being bested by eventual champion Jack Draper in the fourth round. In Miami, Fritz defeated players like Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Shapovalov, Adam Walton, and Matteo Berrettini before being knocked out by eventual champion Jakub Mensik in the semifinals.

After the conclusion of his campaign at the Miami Open, Taylor Fritz was scheduled to compete at the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters but had to withdraw due to his ongoing abdominal injury. He shared how he was spending his time at home while recuperating.

Fritz shared a couple of videos of two black kittens he has been fostering while in recovery. The videos showed the kittens playing with the American with a toy on a sofa.

"Injury emotional support foster kitties," Fritz captioned his Instagram story.
