Alcaraz will not defend his title in Beijing and will play in Tokyo
The ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo takes place from September 22 to 30.
And while these dates may seem a long way off, the tournament organizers have already made Carlos Alcaraz's arrival official.
The Spaniard, who is accustomed to playing in Beijing that week and is the defending champion of the 2024 edition, will finally be heading to Japan.
There's no doubt that the Tokyo tournament had to offer the Spaniard solid guarantees to convince him to come and play in Japan.
