Ben Shelton will go for his third consecutive win over Taylor Fritz in the final of the 2026 Stuttgart Open.
Momentum: Ben Shelton will be playing in his third final on the ATP Tour this year after overcoming Jiri Lehecka in a thrilling three-set showdown, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6. Meanwhile, Taylor Fritz arranged an All-American championship at Stuttgart after besting Alexander Bublik in straight sets 6-4, 6-4.
Matchup: Shelton has defeated Fritz in their last two meetings, including a three-set final encounter 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to capture the 2026 Dallas Open earlier this year.
Hot on the Board: Fritz will enter the final as a slight favorite at -118 mainly because of his superior record on grass and being the defending Stuttgart Open champion.
However, Shelton should not be underestimated. Shelton’s last two wins over his compatriot mean he has the qualities to take down Fritz on grass.

Our Ben Shelton vs Taylor Fritz Prediction
Ben Shelton will claim his third consecutive win over Taylor Fritz to win the 2026 Stuttgart Open title.
Shelton, who has conceded only two service games and averaged 15 aces across 3 matches in Stuttgart, will give Fritz all kinds of problems in this championship match, especially if his serve-plus-one game is on point.
Shelton will also come into the match more battle-tested than Fritz, having survived three consecutive three-set matches.
Fritz will not relinquish his Stuttgart title so easily. Despite being hampered by knee issues, he will try his best to disrupt Shelton’s game plan and outpower him as best as he can.
In the end, Shelton has proven in this tournament that he can win a match in so many ways, underscoring his growth into a more polished all-around player. He will prove it again on Sunday.
