Although Italian tennis player Lorenzo Musetti had strong support from his home fans in Turin, he had to accept defeat after only 1 hour and 23 minutes against Alcaraz's superior strength.

With 3 wins in the Jimmy Connors group, Alcaraz (22 years old) has won a ticket to the semi-finals of the ATP Finals. Thanks to that, this tennis player will also end 2025 as the world number 1, this is also the second consecutive year that he holds this position. Since the ATP rankings were born in 1973, only Australian legend Lleyton Hewitt has achieved this achievement twice before the age of 23.

Alcaraz's semi-final opponent will be the winner of Alexander Zverev vs Felix Auger-Aliassime. Alcaraz now has 70 wins this year and is eyeing another final against Jannik Sinner.

In 2025, Alcaraz won a total of eight titles, including the Roland Garros and US Open titles. He also won the ATP Masters 1000 titles in Monte-Carlo, Rome and Cincinnati.
