"Can't rest on your laurels" - Connors wants Fritz to aim higher

| by Evita Mueller

Jimmy Connors wants Taylor Fritz to keep pushing as the American will break into the top 5 of the ATP Rankings on Monday, February 27th.

Fritz had a really strong past 12 months as the American started a rise after winning the Indian Wells Masters. He played better and better and made his way to the ATP Finals with his career-best ranking now happening on February 27th.

Jimmy Connors wants him to push even further:

It's a huge confidence builder for him to know that he is the first American in the top 5 since Roddick. Now keep that roll going and keep going out and keep grinding and working on your game.

Connors wants him to take the next step and move into number three or even better. He also wants him to push for grand slam glory.

Can't rest on your laurels. You broke into the top 5, what's it going to take to get to 3 or 2 or 1 or win a Grand Slam?.
