Alcaraz Shaken by Fritz but Prevails at ATP Finals

Carlos Alcaraz had to dig deep to overcome Taylor Fritz. Pushed around by the American in the first set, he lost the tie-break 7-2, thanks in part to Fritz's strong serving.

The turning point for Alcaraz was likely the 5th game of the second set, which he won after 14 minutes. He managed to break the American on his 3rd break point of the set and won it 7-5.

The Spaniard definitively gained the upper hand over his opponent in the decisive set with a break won in the 6th game. Alcaraz ultimately wins 6-7, 7-5, 6-3 and moves closer to qualification.

If Alex de Minaur beats Lorenzo Musetti on Tuesday night, then the player from Murcia will automatically qualify for the semi-finals of the ATP Finals.
