Taylor Fritz captured his fourth ATP title on Sunday, defeating Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-2 in the final of the ATP 250 event in Tokyo.

Fritz, the No. 4 seed, dominated the match from start to finish, breaking Shapovalov's serve six times and never facing a break point himself.

The victory marks a significant milestone in Fritz's career, as he rises to a career-high ranking of No. 8 in the world.

Earlier this year, he reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and won his third ATP title at the Indian Wells Masters.

Fritz's consistent success has earned him a place among the top players in the world, and he is now a legitimate contender for Grand Slam titles.

The Canadian, who was seeking his second ATP title, was unable to match Fritz's level of play and made too many unforced errors.

Despite the loss, Shapovalov remains a talented player with a bright future.
