Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-3 to move to 2-0 and lead the Jimmy Connors Group in Turin.
- Lorenzo Musetti, a late entry after Novak Djokovic withdrew, defeated Alex de Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 to stay in contention and earn a Thursday meeting with Alcaraz.
- A win over Musetti would lock up the 2025 year-end No. 1 for Alcaraz, while Jannik Sinner’s only path requires an undefeated title defense.
- Fritz said a longstanding knee tendonitis worsened in the third set; he plays de Minaur next with semifinal prospects still open.
- The ATP and Italian federation confirmed two spectators, aged 70 and 78, died after separate sudden cardiac incidents at the Inalpi Arena.
