American tennis player Taylor Fritz beat Spanish ace Rafael Nadal in the final to win the 2022 Indian Wells Masters tournament held in Indian Wells, California.

The 24-year-old managed to beat the 21-time Grand Slam winner 6-3 7-6 (5) to seal his victory.

The two had last met in the 2020 Acapulco final, where Nadal had beaten Fritz.

Commenting on his victory against one of the world’s best tennis players, Fritz told media, “I think to do it against Rafael Nadal in the end, that’s like the icing on the cake. It’s just insane. [He is] someone that I watched like dominate and win everything. Him and Roger [Federer].”

“When I grew up, I didn’t watch a ton of tennis growing up, but it’s tough not to know these guys, knowing they’re literally winning everything, their Grand Slam finals, all their battles,” the American added.

Fritz also went on to pay tribute to the legendary Nadal, telling the 35-year-old Spaniard, “It’s an honour to be on the court with you Rafa. You’re one of the greatest if not the greatest player of our sport. I’ll try not to cry, I cry when I’m very happy.”

“He [Fritz] played well. He went through some great matches during this week I think, especially yesterday,” Nadal told the press, praising Fritz in return.
