Fritz, 25, also equalled a career-best showing at the French Open this year and made the last eight at Wimbledon in 2022.
But while he has earned around $13million thanks to his racquet skills, Fritz's career is going from strength to strength off the court too.
The world number 10 revealed he wants to use fashion to build his brand, while working as a model.
Fritz claimed modelling has always been a potential career avenue for him to pursue since a young age, and his success on court has helped open up new opportunities.
He told C Magazine: “Over the past few years, I have been a lot more into fashion. It’s something that I definitely want to do more of to build my brand.
“I remember saying to one of my friends when we were 15 or 16 that if tennis didn’t work out I would model. And obviously, tennis has opened the door to do a lot of things.”
It is possible Fritz has been seeking advice on how to get into the industry from his girlfriend Morgan Riddle.
The model was branded "the most famous woman in men's tennis" by the New York Times after appearing on the front cover of their style magazine alongside Fritz.

INSIDE TAYLOR FRITZ AND MORGAN RIDDLE'S RELATIONSHIP
Fritz and Morgan have been dating since 2020; Fritz has a son with ex-wife Raquel Pedraza.
Morgan lives in Los Angeles but spends much of her time on the road - or in private jets - supporting Fritz on the tour.
Earlier this year, The US Sun caught up with Minnesota-born Morgan at Wimbledon - with the influencer admitting her tennis knowledge was limited before she met Fritz.
She said: "I didn’t know anything about tennis before I met Taylor.
"It’s really fun watching Taylor during the matches because now I understand what’s happening during, which is a big plus and definitely makes it more enjoyable but it can be nerve-wracking.
"Usually I love when Taylor is winning, that’s usually the best part of Wimbledon.
"But I love the strawberries and cream, the fans and how everyone is such so happy and in such a good mood especially when it’s nice outside. It’s enjoyable."
Morgan boasts 200,000 Instagram followers and she regularly keeps them up to date with her jet-set lifestyle.
