Overview
- Alex De Minaur beat Taylor Fritz 7-6(3), 6-3, eliminating the American and confirming Alcaraz’s place in the semifinals.
- After De Minaur’s win, Lorenzo Musetti advances with any victory over Carlos Alcaraz, whereas a loss would send De Minaur through as the group’s second qualifier.
- Alcaraz can clinch the year‑end No. 1 with a win tonight, while a Musetti victory would set up a likely semifinal against Jannik Sinner and preserve Sinner’s ranking hopes.
- Sinner has already qualified from the Bjorn Borg group with a 2-0 record, with his final round‑robin match against Ben Shelton scheduled for Friday.
- Italian doubles pair Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori had already booked the semifinals and dropped their last round‑robin match 7-6(5), 4-6, 13-11 to Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, and Musetti’s Davis Cup availability remains under discussion due to fatigue and family timing.
