Overview
- Lorenzo Musetti defeated Alex De Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in 2 hours 47 minutes, clawing back late in the third set and dedicating the win to “Leandro” after describing heavy legs during the match.
- Carlos Alcaraz overcame Taylor Fritz 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-3, setting up a final group match in which Musetti must beat him to qualify.
- If Fritz beats De Minaur, Musetti can reach the semifinals only by defeating Alcaraz in straight sets under the event’s set‑percentage tiebreak rules.
- If De Minaur defeats Fritz, any Musetti victory over Alcaraz would send the Italian through alongside the Spaniard.
- Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori secured a doubles semifinal berth by beating Granollers/Zeballos 7-6(4), 6-4, as De Minaur later voiced frustration about letting tight matches slip away.
