Taylor Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to win the 2025 ATP 250 Boss Open in Stuttgart, Germany.  Fritz is the American who is a Boss ambassador; whereas, Zverev is the German native.

German players have struggled to win this home court tournament in recent years.  Michael Stich was the last German to win it in 1991.

Fritz managed a rain delay and Zverev’s grass court prowess to secure the win.  He was the more accurate player on the day, committing approximately half the unforced errors Zverev did.  He also never faced a break point on his serve.  Fritz has now won a mind boggling five straight matches over Zverev.

Taylor Fritz has struggled in 2025

Hopefully this win helps Fritz turn the court on a challenging 2025 season that was marred by an abdominal injury that either limited him while on the court or kept him off the court.

Abdominal injuries are tricky for tennis players, but Fritz has recently said that he is now 100%.

This gives him a big boost of confidence heading into Wimbledon at the end of the month.

Taylor Fritz wins 9th career ATP title

Fritz, 27, records his ninth career ATP title with the Boss Open victory.  He is seeking double digit titles like Elise Mertens who secured her 10th title earlier in the day at the Libema Open.

He remains the top ranked American man.  Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton, and Frances Tiafoe are close behind.  The four Americans are in the Top 13.

Fritz was a 2024 US Open finalist.  American tennis fans want a US man to win a Grand Slam; Andy Roddick was the last to accomplish it at the 2003 US Open.

Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and Frances Tiafoe appear to be in good form to contend at the All England Club. Hopefully, Tommy Paul gets healthy in time to compete well. He is dealing with an injury from the French Open that is causing him to skip next week’s Queen’s Club Championships.  He won the event in 2024.
