Taylor Fritz won the Stockholm Open on Saturday 14 November, beating Thiago Agustín Tirante 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(3) in the final. It is the 12th tour-level title of his career, his second of 2026 after Washington, and his first indoors. It was also his last event of the season.
How the Final Was Won
Fritz, the top seed, took the first set 6-2 with two breaks of serve, and Tirante, playing his first tour-level final, broke once in the second to take it 6-4. Neither player faced a break point in the third set, and Fritz won the tie-break 7-3. The match lasted two hours and 12 minutes.
The serve decided it. Tirante hit 10 aces to Fritz’s seven, but Fritz won 73% of his second-serve points (24 of 33) against Tirante’s 57%, and he won 92 of the 174 points played. He was broken once all match.
“It was a stressful match,” Fritz said afterwards. He came to Stockholm a week after losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the Paris Masters quarter-finals, a match he was one point from winning that would have taken him to the ATP Finals.
Fritz’s Week
Fritz had a first-round bye, beat Britain’s Cameron Norrie 7-5, 6-3, went through to the semi-finals when Holger Rune withdrew before their quarter-final, and beat Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-2 in 63 minutes. Our Stockholm Open final tips picked him to win the title.
Tirante had the longer route. He went through to the quarter-finals when Tomás Martín Etcheverry withdrew, beat the qualifier Aleksandr Shevchenko 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 6-3 and then the No. 4 seed Alejandro Tabilo 7-5, 7-6(1). Shevchenko had knocked out the defending champion, Casper Ruud, in the second round.
