Fritz Survives Scare as Grass-Court Season Heats Up

Defending champion Taylor Fritz narrowly avoided an early exit at the BOSS Open in Stuttgart, clawing past rising Spanish star Martin Landaluce in a third-set tiebreak on Thursday. The American found himself in serious trouble deep in the second set, sitting just two points from defeat before staging a gutsy comeback to keep his title defense alive. Landaluce, competing in just his second tour-level grass-court event, had earlier announced his arrival on the surface with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Pierre-Hugues Herbert—his first ATP grass-court win. The NextGen talent's spirited challenge underscored the growing depth on tour as the Championships draw nearer.

Off the court, British veteran Dan Evans announced his retirement from professional tennis on June 11, with Wimbledon set to serve as his final bow. The 35-year-old captured his lone ATP title at the 2021 Murray River Open and enjoyed a long career representing Great Britain in Davis Cup. His departure comes as Wimbledon confirmed a record 20% increase in total prize money to £64.2 million, responding to mounting player demands for greater revenue sharing at the Grand Slam level. Meanwhile, the withdrawal list for SW19 continues to grow, with Carlos Alcaraz already sidelined due to wrist injury and joined by at least one top-20 player, while several other big names remain in doubt with the tournament start just over two weeks away.
