Fritz strings at 24–25 kg (53–55 lbs), right at the ATP average. His hybrid setup means the gut crosses play slightly looser in feel — a well-balanced choice for a flat hitter who still wants touch.

Fritz is the prototypical big-serving American. At 1.96m he generates enormous leverage on his serve — one of the fastest on the ATP tour with exceptional placement. He follows it up with flat, powerful groundstrokes that take time away from opponents.

His hybrid string setup (HEAD Hawk mains / Babolat VS Touch crosses) is a deliberate choice: the natural gut crosses give extra feel on touch shots, while the poly mains provide control and spin he needs off the ground.

How his equipment supports his style: The Radical MP is a firm, control-oriented frame that suits his flat, direct groundstroke game. At 1.96m he doesn't need the frame to add power — he needs it to keep his big shots in.
