If Taylor Fritz were like his friends back home in San Diego, he would be
transitioning from high school to his first taste of independence, at college.
Nike Air Max 95
Clearance .But Fritz isnt like most teens just out of high school.
Instead, he is busily carving out his career path.Closing in on the completion
of his first full year on the ATP World Tour, the 19-year-old was labeled one of
the tours Next Generation (#NextGen) stars. He finished 2016 by being named the
ATP Star of Tomorrow, a distinction earned by being the youngest player ranked
within the top 100. Hes ranked No. 70 but has already edged close to the top 50,
with a career-high ranking of No. 53 in August.At the beginning of 2015, when he
was primarily playing junior tennis, Fritz was ranked No. 1,141. By the end of
that season, having played a few pro circuit events and won the Sacramento
Challenger, Fritz started 2016 a respectable No. 177.Now that hes 11 months into
his debut year, Fritz has put up some impressive results, including becoming the
youngest ATP finalist since 2008, when, at age 18, he reached the Memphis Open
championship in February. In all, he won 15 tour-level matches during the
season, a statistic that includes quarterfinal finishes at Acapulco and
Atlanta.Yeah, it came really fast, Fritz said last month in Shanghai. This time
last year, I was just so happy to be participating in the main draw of a
Challenger. I was like, Wow, this is such a big moment in my career. It feels
like Ive been through so much, and it feels like its also gone so fast. A lots
happened, and Ive learned a lot this year, for sure.Although some players in his
current position might choose a guaranteed ranking position by keeping
Challengers in their tournament mix, thats not Fritzs style. He prefers the
tougher route, where he has to fight to earn -- and keep -- his place in
ATP-level tournaments by playing qualifiers.I really didnt know what to expect
just moving to all ATP tournaments, he said. I knew what to expect at
Challengers. Losing in the first round more than two weeks in a row is something
I never experienced ever. So it definitely was a hit on the confidence to keep
going and not get discouraged. But I think Ive adapted now.I feel I could be
where Im ranked now pretty safely. At least I hope so if I played a full
Challenger schedule. But I want to be on the tour. The highest level of the game
is where I want to be.Novak Djokovics had an opportunity to get to know Fritz
through a few practice sessions. He understood why people were talking about the
California kid with the big serve.Im not too surprised, Djokovic said. He very
quickly got to top 100. On your way up to the top of the mens game, you have a
couple of biggest transitions -- icebreakers, we call them. Hes been going in
that direction, and I see that hes working hard. Hes committed. All good
signs.Fritz had a late start to the international junior scene. His mom, former
top-10 player Kathy May, held him back, preferring that tennis not be his entire
focus. Eventually, however, Fritz won over his mom and he was allowed to
home-school to facilitate playing more junior tournaments.In 2015, he won the US
Open junior boys title, reached the Roland Garros junior final and earned the
year-end No. 1 junior ranking. The season culminated with his being named the
ITF Junior World champion.Blessed with matinee idol looks -- the perfect shock
of wavy chestnut hair, the cleft chin and athletic build -- Fritz caught
immediate attention. He already has represented the tour in photo shoots with
Paris Match and Italian Vogue.Hes clearly comfortable in a marketing role, and
the extracurricular activities havent distracted his focus from tennis. That
makes him the perfect new-face-on-tour spokesman.Fritz is likely to catch the
eye of a few young ladies, but theyll be disappointed to learn hes already found
his perfect match in Raquel Pedraza. The two met years ago playing junior
tennis. They married in July after getting engaged with the Eiffel Tower as the
romantic backdrop on a rainy night during the French Open.Some might wonder why
two 18-year-olds would commit so young. For Fritz, it was just the natural next
step.I think it just gives me someone whos always been there for me, and someone
who will continue to be there for me, for support and helping me with my career,
he said. Shes someone who can always keep me focused. So I see nothing but good
things coming from it.With his personal life all organized, Fritz can pay
necessary attention to his career.He shows no fear for his upcoming sophomore
season, the time when many players face complex adjustments. He likes
challenges. And hes comfortable with suggestions he could be Americans next
star.For me, Im able to deal with it because I dont care so much about whether
or not Im disappointing people by not doing well, he said. I just care about
living up to my expectations and not disappointing myself.

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins
returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on
Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. BELFAST -- Ronnie OSullivan came
through a rare showdown with Jimmy White to book his place in the third round of
the Northern Ireland Open.The 54-year-old White, who has slipped to 108 in the
world rankings, was facing OSullivan in the final stages of a ranking event for
the first time in six years.Veteran White hinted at an upset by taking a scrappy
opening frame before OSullivan hit back with a 141 clearance to level the
scores.With both players struggling to find top form OSullivan added two more
frames before wrapping up a 4-1 victory with a break of 95.Earlier, John Higgins

three in Belfast.The 41-year-old achieved the feat in the final frame of his 4-1
