# Tennis: Taylor Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets in Stuttgart on Sunday to win his first ATP title of the season. The American eased to a 6-3, 7-6 victory despite being held up by rain early in the second set. Fritz has now won his last five meetings with Zverev and is set to climb to fourth in the world rankings, a place behind the German. Zverev is still waiting to win the first grass-court title of his career and has never even reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, which gets under way on 30 June.
