Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-3 after 2 hours 47 minutes to move to 2-0 in the Jimmy Connors group.
- One more group win would lock in both a semifinal berth and the year‑end No. 1 for Alcaraz, who remains not yet mathematically qualified.
- If Alex De Minaur beats Lorenzo Musetti this evening, Alcaraz will qualify early; otherwise his Thursday match with Musetti could be decisive.
- Lorenzo Musetti, coming off an opening loss to Fritz, faces a must‑win against De Minaur in the evening session at the Inalpi Arena.
- Italian duo Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori beat Granollers/Zeballos 7-6, 6-4 to clinch the doubles semifinals, as ANSA also reported two spectator deaths from cardiac events during the day.
