Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz meets Lorenzo Musetti in the ATP Finals group stage in Turin, with a victory set to secure the Spaniard the year-end No. 1 ranking.
- Alcaraz sits atop his group at 2-0 and said he is trying to focus on his game despite the No. 1 stakes.
- Musetti rebounded from an opening loss to Taylor Fritz by defeating Alex de Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 to keep his semifinal hopes alive.
- The Italian said he expects to be the crowd favorite, hopes for a "miracle," and believes Alcaraz is less comfortable on hard courts than on clay.
- Jannik Sinner can retain the top ranking only by winning the tournament undefeated, otherwise Alcaraz clinches it with this win.
