Well now, let me tell ya about this young fella, Taylor Fritz, and his mama. This boy, he ain’t just some random tennis player. Nope, he comes from good stock! His mama, Kathy May, she was a big shot in the tennis world back in her day. She was top-10 ranked, can you believe it? But now, folks are talkin’ more ’bout her face than her tennis skills these days, and that’s somethin’ I gotta say a word or two about.
You see, Kathy May was once a top tennis player, right? She played professionally for a good spell before retiring at the ripe ol’ age of 24. Yep, 24! Now, I don’t know ’bout you, but I can’t imagine hangin’ up my tennis racket that young. But that’s what she did, and she stepped outta the spotlight to raise her boy, Taylor. And she did a fine job of it, too, lookin’ at what he’s done in the tennis world today.
Now, talk turns to her face sometimes, and I don’t mean just the regular ol’ talk. Some folks say Kathy May done had some work done, you know, surgery, on her face. Ain’t nobody sure what all went down, but I reckon that’s not too uncommon, is it? Folks talkin’ ‘bout how she looks, but I’ll tell ya what, her son Taylor, he don’t care ‘bout that. He’s got himself a career to focus on, just like his mama did before him.
And speaking of her son, Taylor Fritz, let me tell ya, that boy has been somethin’ special in tennis for a while now. Big fella, six foot five, can you believe that? And that serve of his? Lord have mercy, it’s like watchin’ a cannon shoot! They say he used to try to copy Pete Sampras’ serve when he was a youngun. He’d watch Sampras and try to mimic it. I guess it worked, ‘cause now he’s one of the top servers on the whole dang tour.
But don’t think Taylor got here by himself. Nah, he had his folks behind him all the way. His daddy, Guy Fritz, he was a tennis player too, and his mama, Kathy May, she helped out. Sure, there was a divorce between them, but I reckon it didn’t stop Taylor from reachin’ for the stars. Sometimes families have their ups and downs, but when it comes to talent, it just seems to run in the family, don’t it?
There’s a little more to Kathy May, though. She wasn’t just any tennis player; she was a dang good one. Played in the top ranks, made a name for herself, and then chose to step back, maybe for her family or maybe just ’cause that’s the way life goes. But even now, all these years later, people still whisper ‘bout her. There are those who say she had surgery, but I don’t know what to believe. One thing’s for sure though, she raised herself a fine boy.
As for the looks, well, people can say what they want. Kathy May is a grown woman, and she can do what she pleases with her own face, can’t she? But let’s not forget what she did for the sport and how she helped get Taylor Fritz to where he is today. It’s a tough road, and not everyone can make it, but he did.
So, next time you see Taylor on the court, remember where he comes from. Sure, you might hear some folks talk ‘bout his mama’s face, but let’s not forget to give credit where credit’s due. Kathy May, she was a player in her day, and now she’s a proud mama watchin’ her son chase down glory of his own. That’s a story worth tellin’, don’t you think?
