Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz beat Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-1 to sweep the Jimmy Connors group, securing the year-end No. 1 and the group’s top spot.
- Alex de Minaur earlier defeated Taylor Fritz 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in a must-win straight-sets match, and Alcaraz’s victory confirmed the Australian’s place in the last four.
- De Minaur will face defending champion Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals, with Alcaraz advancing from the same group as the top seed.
- Fritz was eliminated by the defeat, and Musetti—who entered after Novak Djokovic’s late withdrawal—went out after losing to Alcaraz.
- With the ranking race settled, Alcaraz will finish 2025 at No. 1 regardless of his semi-final result.
