Taylor Fritz says why he won’t become a YouTuber like Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton

Tennis players have jumped onto the YouTube sphere in the past few months, with several high-profile players making videos on the platform.

While some stars, such as Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula, have made a podcast to provide some insights for fans, others have taken the behind-the-scenes route.

The likes of Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton have introduced VLOGS, which show them outside of tennis, as well as on the practice courts.

Taylor Fritz, however, has now explained why he doesn’t think he will ever follow the newest trend in tennis.
