Jack Draper is the sixth seed for the BOSS Open and faces unseeded Matteo Berrettini in the final. The British player has moved up to a career-high 32nd in the live rankings and that would be good enough to see him seeded at Wimbledon. He missed last year's grass court season due to injury but in Stuttgart this week, he's shown just how effective he can be on this surface. Draper is in his first grass court final, his best previous run being getting to the last four in Eastbourne in 2022. To get to this final he's beaten Sebastian Ofner, Marcos Giron (in t hree sets), defending champion Frances Tiafoe (after losing the first set) and in the last four, unseeded Brandon Nakashima.

Matteo Berrettini has already won one ATP Tour title this year. That was the clay court tournament held in Marrakech but he has a very good record on grass. The Italian has won four ATP Tour titles and two of those have come in this tournament. Three years ago he got to the Wimbledon final. Injuries have hindered his progress in recent years but he's never an opponent anyone wants to face. His run to this final has taken him up to 65th in the live list and winning this title can see him climb another ten places. He's beaten two seeds so far this week with victories over Roman Safiullin and in the last four, fellow-Italian Lorenzo Musetti. Only one set has been lost this week (his first against Safiullin) and just four games were lost against Musetti. We tip Berrettini to win a third Stuttgart title.
