Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-3 to move to 2-0 and top the Jimmy Connors group at the ATP Finals.
- Lorenzo Musetti rallied past Alex de Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, creating a pivotal Alcaraz–Musetti match with both semi-final and ranking stakes.
- Alcaraz will secure the 2025 year-end No. 1 if he beats Musetti; Sinner’s only path relies on winning the event without a loss.
- Fritz, last year’s runner-up, now meets de Minaur to keep his semi-final hopes alive, and Alcaraz improved their head-to-head to 5-1.
- The ATP and Italian federation said two spectators died on Monday after sudden cardiac incidents during play at the Inalpi Arena.
