Taylor Fritz has finally won an indoor title. The top seed beat Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (3) in 2 hours 12 minutes in the final of the Bybit Stockholm Open on Saturday to claim the first indoor trophy of his career, and his second title of the season after Washington.

Visibly relieved, and delighted, the American got there after a much tougher fight than the first set suggested. Fritz took the opener with two breaks, the second from 0-40 down as Tirante served at 2-5.

Playing his first ATP Tour final, Tirante was remarkable from then on. He broke for 4-3 in the second set and served it out, and neither player dropped serve in the decider. The Argentine led 3-2 with a mini-break in the tie-break, before fading slightly as Fritz won the last five points. Tirante finished with 10 aces and 35 winners, against seven and 22 for Fritz, but also 36 unforced errors, compared with 21.

The title lifts Fritz back up to No. 9 in the world. It was his sixth final of the season, the most he has reached in a single year, after he lost the Lyon final to Lorenzo Musetti last month. With this win, he keeps up his run of at least two ATP titles every year since 2022.

Tirante’s week to remember

Tirante, ranked No. 51, had beaten Fritz in their only previous meeting, in Montreal in August. In Stockholm, the Argentine became the first player from his country to reach an indoor final on the tour since Diego Schwartzman in Antwerp in 2021, beating Alejandro Tabilo in the semi-finals on the day he opened up about the mental health struggles that have weighed on him in recent years.
