Frances Tiafoe def. Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 — Halle Open 2026 Final

Match recap

Frances Tiafoe defeated Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the Final of the Halle Open 2026.

The world No. 26 took down No. 9 Fritz to claim Halle — and the gap came on the second ball, where Tiafoe won 67% to Fritz's 50%. The break that set the tone landed in the opening game of the second set, mirroring his game-seven and game-ten breaks in the first. Fritz fired 12 aces to Tiafoe's 8 and never faced a routine hold problem on the first serve, but converting just one of his early chances cost him; Tiafoe took both sets without surrendering a break, closing a week in which Fritz had survived three tiebreak-laden marathons.
