Second seed Taylor Fritz reached the Stuttgart Open semi-finals on Friday, and so did Felix Auger-Aliassime by stopping German teenager Justin Engel.
American Fritz broke Hungary's Marton Fucsovics once in each set and fired 14 aces en route to a 6-3, 6-4 quarter-final victory in 1 hour 15 minutes.

He next faces fourth seed Auger-Aliassime, who beat the 17-year-old Engel 7-6 (7-3), 6-3. The two traded breaks midway through the first set, and Canada's Auger-Aliassime then won the final three games for victory in 1:38 hours which he clinched with his 18th ace.
Wildcard entry Engel, who is ranked 281st, was playing his first career quarter-final on the ATP Tour. At age 17 he was the youngest player in the last eight of a grass court tournament since Boris Becker's run to his first Wimbledon title 40 years ago in 1985.
The other quarter-finals are German top seed Alexander Zverev v American Brandon Nakashima, and third seed Ben Shelton of the US v Czech player Jiri Lehecka.
The Stuttgart Open are one of tune-up tournaments for Wimbledon, which starts on June 30.

Will Caitlin Clark play for Indiana Fever against New York Liberty, 6/14/25? Prediction, TV
The Indiana Fever try to hand the New York Liberty their first loss of the season on Saturday, June 14. Indiana (4-5), which has been without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham for several games, struggled mightily in the second half in a loss earlier in the week to the Atlanta Dream. Indiana is 2-3 without Clark in the lineup. On Friday, June 13, the Fever announced Clark would return to the lineup against the Liberty. Clark had been out for about three weeks after suffering a quad strain on May 24 against the Liberty. In addition to Clark, Sophie Cunningham will also return after reaggravating a right ankle injury on May 30. DeWanna Bonner, however, will not be with the Fever for Saturday's game because of personal reasons. New York (9-0) is the WNBA's lone undefeated team, winning by an average of 19 points and leading the league in offensive and defensive rating, field goal shooting, 3-pointers made, steals and blocked shots. They edged the Fever 90-88 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 24. Chloe Peterson is your best Fever follow, and sign up for our Caitlin Clark Fever newsletter. 3 p.m. ET Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Chloe Peterson, IndyStar: Liberty 84, Fever 72 "The Fever are getting a significant boost with Caitlin Clark's return to the floor on Saturday, but I don't think it will be enough for them to take down the 9-0 Liberty. "Clark will be playing a game for the first time in about three weeks after she suffered a quad strain on May 24. It will definitely help with the Fever's up-tempo pace and scoring in transition, but don't expect Clark to be perfect off the bat -- she will need to "shake off a little rust" as she said so herself. "New York, however, has looked like how reigning champions should. They're undefeated nearly a quarter into the season and blew out the Connecticut Sun by 48 points last week. "The Liberty are shorthanded, as well, with Jonquel Jones questionable because of an ankle injury and Leonie Fiebich out because of German National Team commitments. Still, New York has a lot of firepower with Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Natasha Cloud." Fever: DeWanna Bonner (personal reasons) is not with the team. Liberty: Leonie Fiebich has joined the German national team; Jonquel Jones (ankle) is questionable. In four games this season, Caitlin Clark averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making 31.4% of her 3-pointers.
