Carlos Alcaraz won his first two matches at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin and is getting closer and closer to a very prestigious goal, which would represent further satisfaction for him within the most brilliant season of his career.
In the event of a victory against Lorenzo Musetti tomorrow, the 22-year-old Spaniard would be certain to end 2025 at the top of the ATP rankings regardless of the result of his huge rival Jannik Sinner in this edition of the Finals. The star from Murcia prevailed against Taylor Fritz yesterday at the end of a truly electrifying battle, in which he was good at not giving up in difficult moments and made the difference in the third set also thanks to his extraordinary body.
Alcaraz rests
The six-time Grand Slam champion has played 77 matches this season so far, with a truly extraordinary balance of 69 wins and only 8 losses. Having used a lot of energy during his clash against Fritz, the world number 1 decided not to practice today according to 'MARCA'. He wants to recharge his batteries in view of tomorrow's match, which is undoubtedly one of the most important of his entire season.Carlitos needs only one set to be sure of making it to the semifinals, but he must win if he doesn't want to risk losing first place in his group.
As everyone knows, the ATP Finals are not the last event of the season for Alcaraz who will lead his Spain to the Davis Cup Finals scheduled in Bologna. The team captained by David Ferrer will face the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals on November 20 and will have to be careful to avoid lapses in concentration, since the rival team can rely on excellent players.
In the meantime, the Spanish star is just trying not to put too much pressure on himself and is aware that Musetti's talent could create problems for him. The two of them have faced each other three times this season, always on red clay, with three wins in favor of Carlos.
