Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-3 in roughly 2 hours 48 minutes to move to 2-0 in the Jimmy Connors Group.
- Lorenzo Musetti rallied past Alex de Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, delaying Alcaraz’s automatic semi-final berth and creating a Thursday showdown.
- Alcaraz will secure the 2025 year-end No. 1 if he defeats Musetti in his final round-robin match in Turin.
- Jannik Sinner began his title defence with a straight-sets win over Felix Auger-Aliassime, who was hampered by a left calf injury, and must stay perfect to have any chance at No. 1.
- Taylor Fritz, now 1-1, said chronic knee tendonitis flared late in the match, while tournament officials confirmed two spectator deaths from sudden cardiac incidents.
