Overview
- Fifth‑seed Taylor Fritz recovered from a set down to defeat Alexander Zverev 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5 on Saturday to reach the Terra Wortmann Open final in Halle.
- Fritz had earlier saved a match point to beat Ben Shelton in a three‑tiebreak quarterfinal, a win that set up his semi on Friday and Saturday's victory confirmed his form on grass.
- Top seed Zverev said a faulty glucose sensor led to an over‑injection of insulin that left him weakened during the semi, and he required a medical timeout during the match.
- Frances Tiafoe beat Daniel Altmaier 6-1, 6-3 to book an all‑American final with Fritz, after Altmaier produced a shock quarterfinal win over Daniil Medvedev to reach the last four.
- The Halle results underline Fritz’s grass‑court run — he has now won seven straight matches against Zverev and leads their head‑to‑head 10-5 — and they provide a confidence boost and match practice ahead of Wimbledon, where form and fitness will matter most.
