Every time I see Fritz Taylor, the new 2022 Indian Wells tennis champ, I think he looks like the ’30s/’40s movie star Robert Taylor. A very handsome man. The Widow’s Peak, the ‘v’ on the forehead, is the same. Of course, Taylor has a modern haircut but the resemblance is striking. Maybe they are related, I don’t know. Whatever, surely Taylor Fritz is the best looking tennis player on the planet, when he removes his headband !! I think the headband could be placed with a little more style, Taylor. The black and white photos include Robert Taylor in the movie, Camille, in which he starred with Greta Garbo.

I have always thought that, from the first time I saw him….the resemblance is amazing….would be interesting to know.
You and I seem to be the only people interested!! It would be interesting to know. In November 2024, he went blonde. Ruined his look. Hopefully not for long.
