Carlos Alcaraz He will sleep this Wednesday in Turin with the peace of mind of fulfilling his duty. Knowing that he still has a chance to make it to the semifinals of the ATP Finals, as he did in the 2023 edition, coming off the first loss.
On that occasion he lost to the German Alexander Zverev who will definitely be his rival next Friday. The German has to play tonight against the Norwegian Casper Ruud to clarify what the group looks like and the options for the final day.
In any case, Alcaraz safely avoided direct elimination by winning against Andrey Rublev by 6-3 and 7-6 (8), practically eliminating the Russian from the equation of the two semi-finalists and somewhat repairing his loss against Casper Ruud (6-1, 7-5) by winning in two sets.
If Ruud defeats Zverev, the Norwegian will enter the semifinals and leave second place in a head-to-head showdown between Alcaraz and Zverev. The German, even if he wins tonight, will not be classified mathematically. He can close her but he has to deal with the result of his clash with Carlos.
