Alexander Zverev has one request for Taylor Fritz after being beaten by him in the final of the BOSS Open

Alexander Zverev will continue his wait for a first grass court title after losing in the final of the BOSS Open to Taylor Fritz.

Zverev made career history by reaching the final of the ATP 250 tournament in Stuttgart, where he was supported by the home German crowd.

After losing in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros, Zverev admittedly had low expectations for himself ahead of the tournament.

However, he was able to reach the final in Stuttgart for the first time in his career before coming unstuck against Fritz.

Alexander Zverev has one request for Taylor Fritz after

Fritz beat Zverev, 6-3 7-6(0), to win his fourth grass court title and continue his impressive record against the three-time Grand Slam finalist.

The American has now won his last five matches against Zverev, which includes meetings at both Wimbledon and the US Open.

After the match, Zverev made a request to Fritz in the post-match ceremony as he poked fun at his poor record against the 2024 US Open finalist.

“Last but not least, Taylor I’m f***** tired of you,” began Zverev. “I don’t want to see you again over the next two, three years, please stay away from me.

“Don’t come to Germany anymore. No, well done you deserve to win this title. You are one of the best players in the world on this surface and you were much better than me today, so congrats to the whole team and I’m sure you are going to do incredible on the next two tournaments on grass, so well done.”

Taylor Fritz vs Alexander Zverev Head-to-head

Although Fritz has won his last five matches against Zverev, their head-to-head has not always been one-sided.

In fact, after they played at the Italian Open last year it was actually Zverev who led the head-to-head against Fritz.

This has turned on its head since then, all started by the aforementioned match where Fritz beat Zverev at Wimbledon in a five set thriller.

Both players will now head their separate ways, with Fritz going straight to the Queen’s Club Championships, while Zverev will stay in Germany to play at the Halle Open.

The next time they can play one another is at Wimbledon, the same place where this dominant run started for Fritz last year.
