Overview

• Taylor Fritz beat world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2 for his first win over the Spaniard and his first victory against a top-ranked player.
• Alex de Minaur defeated Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-4 and Francisco Cerundolo topped Holger Rune 6-3, 7-6 (5) before de Minaur and Alex Michelsen won the doubles 6-3, 6-4.
• Team World’s Day 2 sweep moved the score to 9-3, leaving World two wins from the 13-point title threshold as all Sunday matches are worth three points.
• Alcaraz said Fritz was the better player in slow conditions and noted he felt pressure from Europe’s earlier losses rather than from his No. 1 ranking.
• The Spaniard also said in a press conference that limited court access left him practicing roughly an hour per day heading into his first singles match.
