“Excited to partner with @tiffanyandco ahead of the US Open!” he wrote.

“Make sure to stop by the Tiffany booth on-site to check out the US Open trophy.”

Fritz is a popular character, and that is evident in the comments section.

“Taylor is a classy dude. Humble. Good choice by Tiffany & co,” read one post.

“Classy combination here. Good choice, Tiffany,” a second fan said.

“Wow what an amazing partner,” a third fan said.

“He comes across as a great guy, I can see why Tiffany want this partnership,” a fourth fan said.

Plenty of fans joked too that Fritz would now need to be thinking about gifts for his girlfriend, influencer Morgan Riddle.

Fritz recently won a bronze medal with Tommy Paul in the men’s doubles at the Paris Olympics.

But he only won one match in tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati.

He suffered early defeats at those events to compatriots Brandon Nakashima and Sebastian Korda respectively.

Despite that, Fritz will still have high hopes of a decent run in the US Open at Flushing Meadows.

The world’s No. 12 reached the quarter-finals in New York last year.

He lost in the last eight to eventual winner Novak Djokovic .

The 26-year-old would love to go even further this time in a tournament that he knows is enormous for US players.

“It’s huge – these are the two weeks of the year that I feel like all of America is really paying attention to tennis,” Fritz told the Daily Mail.

“It’s an awesome opportunity to really be seen.”

Fritz opens his campaign against Argentina’s Camilo Ugo Carabelli.

The doors of Flushing Meadows opened on Monday morning for what is always a special event in American sports.

Over the next two weeks, live coverage of the tournament will be on ABC and ESPN.
