Six Pack: Shelton Dethrones Fritz for Sixth Career Title in Stuttgart

Ben Shelton defeated defending champion Taylor Fritz 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 on the Stuttgart grass on June 14, 2026, to win the Boss Open and claim his sixth career title and third of the season. Shelton becomes the first American man since Sam Querrey in 2010 to win titles on three different surfaces in the same season, having also won on clay in Munich and hard court in Dallas. Fritz, who had been 5-0 in grass-court finals before today, dropped to 10-11 in career Tour-level finals despite hitting more aces (14-9) and winners (40-32) than Shelton.
