    Taylor Fritz claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title after beating Spanish ace Rafael Nadal in the Indian Wells final. The American claimed a 6-3, 7-6(5) victory to clinch his second ATP Tour trophy. Fritz ended Nadal's 20-match winning streak, denying him his 37th ATP Masters 1000 title. Earlier this year, Nadal captured a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

    Why does this story matter?

    Fritz has become the first American to win the Indian Wells singles title since since Andre Agassi in 2001. The former is also the youngest Indian Wells men's champion since Serbian maestro Novak Djokovic in 2011. Fritz beat Nadal in the final, who had not lost in the last 20 matches. It was Fritz's first win in nine matches against the 'Big Three'.

    'Went through a roller coaster of emotions before the match'

    "I can't even begin to describe how ridiculous it is that I was able to play how I could play today. I've never experienced worse pain in my life before a match," Fritz said after the match. "We did a lot of work leading up to the match and I went through a roller coaster of emotions before the match."
