Taylor Fritz Wins Stuttgart Title Over Alexander Zverev, Rises to World No. 4

Taylor Fritz secured his first ATP title of 2025 by defeating Alexander Zverev in straight sets at the Stuttgart Open, also known as the BOSS Open, with a final score of 6-3, 7-6(0). Fritz maintained an impeccable serving performance, not facing a single break point and firing 11 aces, which helped him claim his ninth career ATP title and fourth on grass, boosting him back to world No. 4. This victory marked Fritz's fifth consecutive win over Zverev, extending his lead in their head-to-head to 8-5, and reinforcing his strong grass-court credentials ahead of Wimbledon. Zverev, who reached his first final at Stuttgart, continues to seek his first grass-court title and has yet to progress past the Wimbledon quarter-finals. After the match, Zverev humorously requested Fritz to avoid playing him again for the next few years, acknowledging Fritz's dominance on grass and congratulating him on the win. Both players are set to continue their grass-court seasons at different upcoming tournaments, with Fritz heading to Queen’s Club and Zverev staying in Germany for the Halle Open.
