Total slaughter of seeds on the first day of competition at ATP Tokyo 2025. Two of the main contenders to go far in the top half of the draw have fallen in their debut, but we must focus on Frances Tiafoe who can't seem to catch a break. The American suffered his fourth consecutive defeat against Marton Fucsovics, in a match where he smashed his racket along the way, clearly showing his frustration with his current form (3-6, 6-1, 7-5). This result shakes up Carlos Alcaraz's bracket, as Frances would have been his hypothetical opponent, by ranking, in the quarterfinals. Now, the Spaniard would face in that round, if he advances, either Marton, Jordan Thompson, or Brandon Nakashima.
Other results of the day (first-round matches):
- Nuno Borges def. Yosuke Watanuki (WC) 2-6, 6-4, 6-1
- Daniel Altmaier def. Denis Shapovalov (7) 7-5, 6-3
