Taylor Fritz def. Mattia Bellucci 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 — Stuttgart Open 2026 Quarterfinal

Match recap

Taylor Fritz defeated Mattia Bellucci 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 in the Quarterfinal of the Stuttgart Open 2026.

Down a set after Bellucci nicked the opener 7-5, Fritz flipped the match by tightening the margins he couldn't afford to spill. The American hit just 23 unforced errors to Bellucci's 40, and landed 83% of first serves to the Italian's 33% — enough to grind out two straight 7-5 sets without ever facing the avalanche. The lone red flag: Fritz converted only 1 of 9 break points, leaning on his own holds rather than cracking the Bellucci serve. In their first meeting, the cleaner sheet decided it.
