Taylor Fritz Saves Match Point, Sets Up Halle Semifinal Clash With In-form Zverev
Terra Wortmann Open: Taylor Fritz finally ended his run of heartbreak against Ben Shelton in 2026, saving a match point to battle into the semifinals of the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, where he was joined by top seed Alexander Zverev after the German extended his winning streak to 10 matches on Friday.
Although the former World No. 8 suffered a loss to the 19-year-old at the Dallas Open final in February, he has now clinched a convincing victory in their rematch in the second round of the ATP 500 event in Germany. But this time on the grass. The victory, which took over four hours, saw an incredible tie-break in both the second and third sets.
“I do not want to experience losing a match to Shelton again," Fritz exclaimed with huge relief on court, after losing to the World No. 29 in both the Dallas final in February and their previous week encounter in the Stuttgart championship showdown on grass court, only to reclaim a significant 6-7(5), 7-6(8), 7-6(3) hard-won win under two hours fifty minutes.
