American Taylor Fritz has secured his place in the Bybit Stockholm Open final after an impressive 6-4, 6-2 victory over Lorenzo Musetti. 

Top seed Fritz proved too strong for Musetti on Friday evening. The Italian struggled to cope with the American’s powerful serves, strong baseline game and determined approach. Although the first set was relatively close, Fritz took control early in the second to seal a convincing victory.

The final will be Fritz’s first at the Bybit Stockholm Open, in his fourth appearance at the Kungl. Tennishallen.

In the final, Fritz will face Thiago Agustín Tirante, who is competing in the first ATP final of his career. The more experienced Fritz will be chasing his 12th career title. However, Tirante defeated Fritz in Montreal in August, in what remains their only meeting on the ATP Tour so far.
