Taylor Fritz breaks 18-year American tennis record as the 2024 ATP season ends
Taylor Fritz will look back on his 2024 season very fondly, with the American currently occupying a career-high ranking.
Fritz finished fourth in the ATP year-end rankings, having reached his first-ever Grand Slam final at the US Open.
The home supporters were desperate to see an American lift the trophy, but there was no shame in Fritz losing out to world number one Jannik Sinner.
Sinner then beat Fritz once more in the ATP Finals, with that journey in Turin capping off a superb season for the latter.
He clinched two titles throughout 2024, with the world number four finishing with a fantastic 53-23 record.
Taylor Fritz breaks 18-year American tennis record
Fritz has confirmed his 2025 Laver Cup presence as he looks ahead to next season, but he certainly needs to appreciate what he has done this time around.
As per Tennis, he is the first American man to finish a year in the top four since James Blake, who also finished fourth in 2006.
What will US Open finalist Taylor Fritz want to achieve in 2025?
Fritz should be more than satisfied with his efforts on the court this season, but he will already be eyeing a more successful 2025.
The American lifted trophies at Eastbourne and Delray Beach in 2024, bringing his career ATP Tour-level title collection to eight.

Perhaps reaching double figures next season will be on his list of priorities, along with going one step further in a Grand Slam after his US Open heartache.
| Year | Titles | Tournaments |
| 2024 | 2 | Eastbourne (Outdoor/Grass) Delray Beach (Outdoor/Hard) |
| 2023 | 2 | Atlanta (Outdoor/Hard) Delray Beach (Outdoor/Hard) |
| 2022 | 3 | Tokyo (Outdoor/Hard) Eastbourne (Outdoor/Grass) ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells (Outdoor/Hard) |
| 2019 | 1 | Eastbourne (Outdoor/Grass) |
He is certainly helping bring US men’s tennis back on the map, helped by the likes of Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe.
Fritz, however, leads the charge, but that does mean American hopes will likely fall on his shoulders once more next season.
