Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 to claim the ATP 500 title in Tokyo, his eighth trophy of 2025 and the 24th of his career, taking his season wins to a personal-best 67.
  • He reached a ninth straight final and 10th of the season after rallying past Casper Ruud 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals.
  • Hours after lifting the trophy, Alcaraz announced he will skip the Shanghai Masters to recover from physical problems following a left-ankle sprain earlier in the tournament.
  • During the final, Alcaraz received a time-violation warning and questioned chair umpire Fergus Murphy as the ATP’s stricter 25-second shot-clock enforcement drew scrutiny.
  • Fritz required medical attention for a left thigh issue during the match and was limited as Alcaraz controlled key moments on serve and from the baseline.
