Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the Tokyo final to claim his eighth trophy of 2025 and the 24th title of his career.
• He reached the championship match by rallying past Casper Ruud 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, marking his tenth final of the season and ninth in a row.
• After lifting the trophy, Alcaraz pulled out of the upcoming Shanghai Masters, where he had been slated to be the top seed with a first-round bye.
• During the Tokyo final he argued with chair umpire Fergus Murphy after a time-violation warning, while Fritz finished with a bandaged left thigh.
• Alcaraz also overcame a brief scare earlier in the week when he twisted his foot and required treatment, yet he maintained his strong form to finish the event.
