Tennis, ATP – Boss Open 2026: Fritz defeats Bublik

Taylor Fritz, seeded second at the Boss Open in Stuttgart, defeated Alexander Bublik 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday to reach the final of the ATP 250 grass-court event. The win was notable for Fritz as Bublik (world No. 11) was the first top-20 player he had beaten in 2026, and it marked his first final appearance since losing to Ben Shelton in Dallas in February. Fritz now has the chance to defend his Stuttgart title, having previously beaten Mattia Bellucci and Martin Landaluce in three sets each earlier in the tournament.
