The organization of the Shanghai Masters 1000 had the beautiful and funny idea of asking a specific question to the star players of the tournament: “If you could travel back in time to a specific moment in history, what period would you like to go back to and why? »
If most of the players, like Casper Ruud, gave answers unrelated to tennis, Taylor Fritz for his part admitted that he would like to replay a certain match against Roger Federer, in 2016 on the Stuttgrat lawn so that he was only 18 years old (defeat 4–6, 7–5, 4–6).
ATP players choose where they’d like to time travel to
Ruud : “I don’t know if I’d last long, but probably the dinosaur time”
Zverev : “The beginning of everything. The Big Bang or something”
Alcaraz : “The pyramids.”
Tiafoe : “Late 90s, early 2000s”

“I don’t know, but I would really like to go back to the match against Roger Federer when I was 18. I narrowly lost that day and I would like to play that match again.”declared the American who, more than seven years later, still seems to have difficulty digesting this defeat.
