Alcaraz vs. Fritz in Turin, What You Need to Know

What’s happening:

Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz meet in their second round-robin match at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. Both players began the week with wins and are now contending not just for circuit momentum, but for positioning in one of the sport’s most prestigious year-end events.

Why it matters:

• Alcaraz enters the match as the season’s top seed and is seeking to capture the year-end World No. 1 ranking. A win here would bring him significantly closer to that prize.
• Fritz is motivated not only by tournament success but by the chance to beat Alcaraz on a big stage, something he has achieved only once so far in their head-to-head rivalry (4-1 in Alcaraz’s favour) so far.
• The surface (indoor hard‐court) suits Fritz’s aggressive style and powerful serve. For Alcaraz, this is a test of adaptability and defending his top ranking in a high-pressure scenario.

Key moments to watch:

• Fritz serving at peak speed and using his forehand to dictate play.
• Alcaraz using his variety, his drop-shots, movement and forehand combinations, to unsettle Fritz’s rhythm.
• The psychological battle: Fritz’s confidence after a strong earlier win, Alcaraz’s hunger to seize the year-end title.
