Top seed Taylor Fritz beat Britain’s Cameron Norrie 7-5, 6-3 in the last 16 of the Stockholm Open on Wednesday to extend his indoor run.
The American, a finalist in Lyon, a semi-finalist in Basel and a quarter-finalist in Paris over the previous three weeks, will face Miomir Kecmanovic or Holger Rune for a place in the semi-finals.
Fritz came into the match with a tour-leading 13 indoor wins this season, having reached at least the quarter-finals at all four of his previous indoor events in 2026. The American also came into the match leading the tour in aces this season, with 922. The win extended a consistent indoor run for the top seed.
Fritz had beaten Norrie 7-6 (5), 6-4 at the 2024 United Cup in their previous meeting. Third seed Lorenzo Musetti, who beat Fritz 6-3, 6-4 in the Lyon final, is the highest seed left in the neighboring section of the draw, ahead of a possible semi-final.
Norrie, a former World No. 8, had opened his week with a 7-5, 6-0 win over Australia’s James Duckworth in the first round.
