Very astute. I was the same way and I'm still hesitant about being a fan but...Fritz has improved A LOT over these past couple of years. Taylor use to say that he was "obsessed with the number one" and I guess we all know where he's trying to get to. If he can beat the Great Nadal tomorrow, he just might get there some day.
Fritz keeps improving and what I really like about him is that he doesn't seem to have the on-court tantrums that many of the younger players are prone to. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I haven't seen clips of him acting a fool.
@@papigringo5692 Tantrums like the one's that Serbian keeps having on court with throwing balls, racquets, hitting balls at umpires....I don't think Taylor is anything like that....agreed.

@@virtuallimit8615 bro he is top 10, I think he is already a great player. I'm assuming you mean like best of all time level but that is very different than great.
I think Rublev’s 2016 season was the best thing that ever happened to him. He went from the top ranked junior, to barely winning matches on the challenger tour, it definitely helped his attitude.
This is why he has so many friends on tour. He is just as competitive as the rest of them but he can seemingly turn it off in an instant when the match is over and he's back to his gracious nature.
It was a pity for Rublev failing that volley in the net at the end of the second set, he had done a great match and this mistake geared to Fritz to the victory. However, the tournament for the Russian was amazing, he improved his tennis in every single match and reached the semis, which is not easy to achieve at this high level and competitiveness there are on court.
@@MistahhMingus lol you're not in the right dude. He was simply saying rublev can get in his own mind a LOT and mess up his own game leading to more errors. This isn't some huge insult or bash. It's pretty well defended. I mean dude beat his hands into his strings drawing blood ffs
I love seeing the support for Rublev in the middle of all this anti-russian propaganda... super nice guy as well as the other Russian players... good for the people supporting good sportsmanship and keep things in real perspective, sports are sports, politics are politics.... Great effort Rublev! well deserved win Fritz :).
There's no anti Russian propaganda, majority of Russians supports Putin and no one is a Saint. Politics are part of sports ever since the Olympics learn the history.
@@virtuallimit8615 If you don't think there has been anti-Russian propaganda you need to get out and read more. I don't base my life and thoughts in following history and I DO know the history, I see your condescending comment as it looks like you are the only one that knows your history, You might have noticed in your history that no one banned US players while Iraki children were being bombarded with depleted uranium based bombs causing children to develop leukemia in the thousands, but, then again Im sure you probably know that part of history too, I believe that each of us has a role in changing the world around us, it start with each of us, the language right now is calling for WW3 and its up to each of us to speak up... banning sports man and women it's wrong, people that does sports are people that gives the best of themselves to succeed, they are an inspiration for healthy life.... when you start crushing players because of where they come from it becomes the beginning of our end.
Love rublev! But very impressed with the progress of fritz lately. I was never expecting him to get to this level in the past . I also am super happy for him
it was in the making, Fritz has been playing some really strong tennis, showing a lot of improvement in consistency , movement and particularly his backhand side! Not surprised to see him in IW Finals!
I was never in to Rublev until I saw how funny, nice, and an incredible player he was in person at 2021 Laver’s Cup. I’m now a big fan, but I can’t help cheering for the underdog Taylor Fritz! American men’s tennis needs some new inspirations so hopefully he’ll win his slam next!
I can already hear what Rafa is going to say tomorrow: “Taylor, for sure you’re having an ombeliebable season, always a pleasure to play you and all the best for the rest of the season, no?” 🤣🤡
My apologies sir. Yeh my answer was to Nikola. I made a mistake. U were right. And me? Happy to see the end of the streak of Nadal. And congrats to Fritz. Well deserved.
Fritz's mom was a top 10 tennis player and his dad was Olympic development coach in 2016...on his mother's side he is the great-great-grandson of Mays department store which merged with Macy's...remember shopping at Mays :(
When you do something on the tennis crt that you have never done before, it can be a distraction in the mind which may linger...you may lose your between point routine, start thinking about the next point for a bit longer, all of a sudden your elated ego causes a mistake on something routine in the next point
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾 are in order ! A win against Rublev , 2 sets to 0 ! 🤩 That was epic ! Fritz for the win ! Not sure how he pulled this but ! He sure did !!
First, a superb and amazing half-volley. Show time! Next point: an amazing mistake with your forehand. Dropshot could be a good choice, but... News! Rublev smiled after your big mistake. More instable on the court, Fritz deserved won this semifinal.

Andrey Rublev, a huge tennis player, nice guy. All respect to you.
Rublev is very gracious when he lost and gave thank to God. He even embraced the opponent. You don’t see that often in the sport these days..
Love to see Rublev still smiling even after whiffing that forehand

Gotta respect Rublev and that sportsmanship
its only now I realized how graceful Rublev in defeat, I initially thought this guy was rude but I was so wrong....

What a great sportsman is Rublev...I have so much respect for him🙏
Not only is Bwee a good player, he is a great role model as well. Respect to this God fearing russian.

Yes, that was wild! Congrats to Fritz getting to his first Master 1000 Final! Rublev always a fav! I wish him well in Miami.

Rublev keeping his calm even in defeat. Glimmers of greatness, I hope!
I love that Rublev gave thanks. Even in defeat.

"Anti russian propaganda"? You mean the war?🤨
Alway nice player Andrey Rublev win or lose He's true sportmanship. !
Jaw dropping win. I really didn't think Taylor was ready for this.
That Rublev’s smash backhand was amazing! In Radwańska or Federer style.
It was lousy. High, shallow and right to the opponent. Probably like Radwanska, but not like Federer.
Rublev is a nice and talented guy
Seemed like Rublev really just wanted a hug. You really can’t not like him
Just how grateful Rublev is whichever he wins or losses. A well deserved win for Fritz, at long last he made it to his maiden Masters final.
sportsmanship and class +++
Rublev The bravest Russian player at the moment :"no war please"
Rublev is gracious
Rublev was equally as flabbergasted at the mistakes he was making. Just one of those days.
Randolph Pinkie: you are spot on. You win sometimes & lose sometimes. Just part of life I guess
Acknowledging the Creator above, in good times and bad times, that's our Rublev.
Which creator?
⭐️ is born!
Rublev always does the cross and shake hands his opponent and referee. He’s gracious. I love you
Rublev you are so humble. Hope you can follow the path of your tennis idol Rafa Nadal!
Go Rublev!

Fritz will face Nadal in the final. Many people think Nadal will extend his winning streak to 21. But I hope Fritz can have a breakthrough.
I was sort of stunned to see Rublev punching out his racket strings… and see his knuckles bleeding all over the court.
yeah he was having a rough day; the potential lingering consequences for what he said about the war may be in the back of his mind
@@AinSoph73 Yes. So much professional and personal pressure on him right now.
Taylor Fritz vs Rafael Nadal would be an exciting match!
Incredible, bravo.
Rubl would have thrown his racquet after 0:32 miss.
He is being quite gentle and humble ever since the war.
Maybe a good thing, maybe a sad.
Rublev is such a good lad
Mimá, Rublev may has lost, but that could be the point of the year .
Rublev is one Russian I have a lot of respect in the game.
Let’s go Fritz!! Even though I’m a big nadal fan, I would love to see Fritz win a masters 1000😁
Good for you, Taylor. Awesome job! Good luck with the finals against Rafa. It should be an interesting match.
Rublev simply chokes in M1000 and GS, I hope he will do it better and reach finals/titles
Fritz is so ….
The Force is with him !
Fritz is developing mentally. And that is the most important part
I'm sure someone else has already mentioned this, but notice Rublev subtly wearing Ukraine colors?
Rublev was lucky when he was not in control and was unlucky when he was in control. Life's like that.
Congrats to Taylor! Hopefully we can have an American champion in indian wells for the first time in over 20 years!
Now wouldn’t that be something? All these years playing with the obvious home crowd advantage? Hmmm…

Congrats Fritz, but he has no chance against Nadal in the final though lol
He has the game to beat an struggling Nadal
Frits be gangsta till he hears “Rafael Nadal” on the speakerphone.
