American tennis player Taylor Fritz has spoken candidly about the difficulties of balancing his demanding schedule with time away from his nine-year-old son Jordan.
In a post-match press conference at Wimbledon, the world No. 7 described the separation as "really tough." Fritz explained that he focuses on maximizing time together when home and relies on FaceTime during travel, though he would prefer to bring Jordan on the road if circumstances allowed.
Fritz, who became a father at 19 after marrying ex-wife Raquel Pedraza, noted that both parents remain involved in Jordan's upbringing following their 2019 separation. The player recently ended a six-year relationship with influencer Morgan Riddle.
Fritz has advanced to the third round at Wimbledon after straight-sets wins over Dusan Lajovic and Patrick Kypson. He is scheduled to face either Lorenzo Sonego or Gabriel Diallo next.
