Taylor Fritz ended his 2026 season with silverware after defeating Thiago Agustin Tirante in the Stockholm Open final.

After failing to qualify for the ATP Finals last week, Fritz ensured he would close out the year on a high note as he overcame Tirante 6-2 4-6 7-6 (7-3) in two hours and 14 minutes to win in Sweden.

The top seed made a fast start in the showpiece, converting two of his three break point opportunities, and giving none away, on his way to winning the first set.

Tirante had to save a break point early in the second, but managed to force a decider after breaking Fritz in game seven before holding serve.

After neither player conceded a break point in the third, Tirante took a 3-2 lead in the tie-break, only for Fritz to reel off five consecutive points and win the title.

Fritz bounces back

Fritz was one point away from reaching the ATP Finals, but squandered two match points against Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters last week.

Nevertheless, the American refused to lie down, instead closing out his season with his second tour-level title of 2026, adding to his victory in Washington.

Fritz impressed on serve, winning 76% of his first-serve points and 73% on second serve, while giving away just one break point across the three sets.

The result means Fritz will now finish the year inside the ATP top 10 for the fifth consecutive season, and he has also won multiple titles in each of the last five campaigns.

Tirante showed positive signs in his maiden tour-level final, firing in 10 aces to Fritz's seven, but he could not hold his nerve during the tie-break.
