Musetti Keeps Semifinal Bid Alive With De Minaur Win, Faces Alcaraz Next

His semifinal hopes hinge on defeating world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz under specific tiebreak scenarios.

Overview

  • Lorenzo Musetti beat Alex De Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in Turin after 2 hours 47 minutes to claim his first ATP Finals victory.
  • Connors group standings after two matches: Carlos Alcaraz 2-0 (sets 4-1), Taylor Fritz 1-1 (3-2), Musetti 1-1 (2-3), De Minaur 0-2 (1-4).
  • Musetti is eliminated if Alcaraz wins their final round-robin match by any scoreline.
  • If De Minaur defeats Fritz, any Musetti win over Alcaraz sends him through; if Fritz beats De Minaur, Musetti must beat Alcaraz in straight sets.
  • This is Musetti’s first ATP Finals appearance, coming after a heavy recent workload that included a three-hour match against Novak Djokovic.
