Two seeds meet in the quarter-finals of the BMW Open. Taylor Fritz is seeded third for this outdoor clay court tournament, three places higher than opponent Jack Draper. In the semi-final, the winner will take on either top-seed Alexander Zverev or unseeded Cristian Garin. Fritz is the world number 15 but can climb up to 14th if he wins this match. It's only his second match against Draper, the other being on grass in London in 2022 and won by Draper. The American is yet to reach a clay court final and his best at Roland Garros is getting to the third round. He has won one tournament this year but that was on hard courts. Last week he played in Monte Carlo and lost to Lorenzo Musetti in his first match. So far in Munich, he's played qualifier Alejandro Moro Canas and won for the loss of only four games.

Jack Draper is also far more at home on other surfaces. He also lost in his first match in Monte Carlo last week but did take a set off Hubert Hurkacz. Draper has had to win two matches in Munich to reach this quarter-final and both have gone to a final set. After beating Vit Kopriva in round one, he had to come from behind to beat Rudolf Molleker. Only two games were dropped by him in the final couple of sets. This could be a tight match and we go for over 22.5 games to be played.
