Ninth final for Carlos Alcaraz and a new title for the Spaniard after overcoming Taylor Fritz at the ATP Tokyo 2025. The world number one defeated the American with a score of 6-4, 6-4 in 1 hour and 32 minutes of play to lift his eighth trophy this season.

Just a few days after facing each other in San Francisco, the Spaniard and the American crossed paths again, this time on the courts, albeit in a completely different context. Far from exhibitions, Fritz and Alcaraz met in the grand final of the Japanese tournament. Despite Taylor's strong serves, Carlos quickly made his threats clear with an impeccable forehand full of speed and power.

Both the European and the American had opportunities on their rackets to take the lead, but defenses prevailed in a somewhat confusing start of the match, where Carlitos didn't hesitate to get upset with Fergus Murphy for giving him a time violation warning. Once past that moment, the Spaniard knew how to pressure a tough opponent to claim the first set of the final.

Alcaraz leaves Fritz out of gas

Fritz took the opportunity to be treated by the physiotherapist for discomfort in the area of the left thigh, appearing somewhat downcast with the situation. The world number one took advantage from the start with drop shots, forcing his opponent to come to the net and leaving him off balance with lobs.

Although Taylor tried to push the Murcian to get back into the match, Carlos remained firm with his lead until he had the chance to close out the game. As if it were an extra life, Fritz gave it his all to cling to the battle tooth and nail. Precisely with drop shots, Alcaraz found the definitive path to the trophy in Tokyo, a new title added to his collection.
