Fritz, Shelton Advance to Stuttgart Open Quarterfinals Ahead of Wimbledon

Posted : 12 June 2025

Taylor Fritz made a strong statement in his grass-court preparations by easing past France’s Quentin Halys 6-3, 7-6(6) to reach the Stuttgart Open quarterfinals. The world number seven fired 12 aces and totaled 32 winners in just under 90 minutes, showing sharp form ahead of Wimbledon, where he has twice reached the last eight.

 

His next challenge at the ATP 250 event will be against Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, who overcame Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets.

 

Joining Fritz in the last eight is fellow American Ben Shelton, who defeated Pierre-Hugues Herbert 7-6(4), 7-5 in just 50 minutes. The 22-year-old third seed, currently ranked 12th in the world, played confidently in the critical stages and was thrilled to earn his first career win in Stuttgart. Shelton will now face Czech eighth seed Jiri Lehecka, who eliminated Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff 6-4, 7-5.

 

Both Americans used their matches to build momentum ahead of the Wimbledon Championships, with Shelton noting the unique challenge of playing on grass and expressing optimism about his improving form. The Stuttgart Open continues to provide key match practice on grass, with Fritz and Shelton eyeing deep runs to fine-tune their performance for the season's third Grand Slam.
