Atp Stuttgart: will Zverev face Taylor Fritz in the final

It will be between Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz in the final of the ATP 250 Stuttgart 2025, a match that pits the tournament’s top two seeds against each other and promises to be a spectacle on German grass.

In the first semifinal, Taylor Fritz overcame Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime with authority in two sets, with a score of 6-4 7-6 in just over an hour and a half. The American, the number two seed, offered a solid showing on serve, not conceding a single break point to his opponent. It was only in the tie-break of the second set that the Canadian gave the’impression that he could get back into the match, pulling ahead 4-3, but Fritz immediately regained control, closing the fraction without further hesitation.

For the U.S., this is the 17th career final at ATP level, the first in a season so far not particularly brilliant. However, the grass in Stuttgart seems to have restored his confidence, and he will now go in search of his fourth title on this surface, after the three already won in Eastbourne.

In the’other semifinal, great excitement for the home fans as Alexander Zverev triumphed against American Ben Shelton. The world number three won in two hard-fought tie-breaks, 10-8 the first and 7-1 the second, once again showing great coolness in the decisive moments. Zverev never conceded any break points, while he was adept at getting six, forcing Shelton into constant recoveries. After nullifying a set point in the first tie-break, the German then dominated the second, leading to his 39th career final, and seeking his 25th title, his second of the season after winning in Munich.

Making the final challenge even more interesting is the statistical fact that Taylor Fritz is victorious in the last four direct confrontations with Zverev.
