Nainkin added that Holt, always a smart player, has also taken a quantum leap in self-analysis of his game during his time at the U.S. His only traveling partner was his guitar, a 2.5-pound semi-acoustic that he plugs into his computer and listens through headphones. Before he was granted the wild card into qualifying, Holt traveled the world by himself — no parent, no coach, no manager — playing in Tunisia, Mexico, Ecuador, Britain and the Dominican Republic and ranked as low as No. Open gifted him the opportunity to compete in the pretournament qualifying rounds, which meant that he would then have to win three matches just to get into the main draw.

He asked his surgeon if he could still pick through the pain. Holt, a qualifier who inherited tennis skills from his mother, the U.S.

Taylor Fritz 'feels like an idiot' after US Open shocker (New York Post)

Taylor Fritz saw the 2022 US Open as his chance to become one of the biggest names in the sport.

“Yeah, I just didn’t have that confidence kind of when I was taking a cut, being aggressive, that it was just going to feel good. Honestly, the first set was probably the worst set I played, and that was the one I ended up winning. Towards the end when I started to get some better timing, it was dark.
