Taylor Fritz clinched his maiden indoor title as he defeated Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(3) in the final of the Stockholm Open, an ATP 250 event, on Saturday.
American World No. 10 Fritz breezed through the opener before 25-year-old Argentine Tirante, playing his first Tour-level final, fought back to force a decider.
After neither player faced a break point in the third set, Fritz showed his experience to win the tiebreak against World No. 51 Tirante.
Fritz, who had won the ATP 500 tournament in Washington earlier this year, bagged his second trophy of the season and overall, the 12th title of his career.

For the 29-year-old American, the glory in Sweden came after suffering heartbreaking at last week’s Paris Masters where he was one point away from beating eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. Victory over the Spaniard would have also happened Fritz qualify for the ATP Finals, which begins in Turin on Sunday.
“It is really big for me to deal with what I dealt with in Paris,” Fritz said. “I wanted to go home so bad, but I knew I would feel better coming here. I am glad I came here and made the most of it.”
Fritz is set to finish the year inside the Top-10 for the fifth straight season.
