First objective achieved. Carlos Alcaraz has clinched the number 1 spot in the ATP rankings at the end of the season with a victory over Lorenzo Musetti, showcasing all his strengths without hesitation. The final result of 6-4 6-1 in the match catapults the Murcian into the semifinals of the ATP Finals 2025, avoiding Sinner until a potential final.

Nervousness, pressure, vertigo facing a big goal, stage fright? None of that applies to Carlos Alcaraz, whose youth and physical explosiveness are complemented by impeccable maturity and emotional management. The Spaniard secured his spot in the semifinals of the ATP Finals 2025 as the leader of his group, gaining a huge morale boost and confidence with his performance against Lorenzo Musetti, proudly securing the season's end as the world's number 1 player.

Alcaraz forced Musetti out physically and emotionally after firm resistance in the first set

Right from the start of the first set, it was evident that the Spanish player's determination to go for the win was absolute. No hint of doubt or speculation, just extreme aggressiveness in all his shots, especially on returns, and a sublime shot selection on serve, relying on a high percentage of first serves and only letting five points slip while serving throughout the set. Musetti weathered the storm, taking risks with his forehand, but pushing the limits too high.

Unable to pose real threats on returns, the Italian tried to be more aggressive than usual, not allowing himself to be dominated and rushing to the net whenever possible. In the ninth game, the territory where intangibles separate legends from great players, he rushed in search of a winning shot, mistimed his net approach, made errors due to nerves, and witnessed the physical and mental dominance that the Murcian was exerting pay off.

Carlos Alcaraz concluded his match against Musetti in the ATP Finals 2025 with 26 winners and 21 unforced errors

A roar of contained rage and courage tore through the Turin sky, shattering the Italian's hopes for the second set. If Lorenzo wants to trouble Alcaraz, he needs an impressive physical effort to constantly transition to a drive stance and take charge, as well as to be very accurate with the first shots of each point. Facing a deficit and perceiving total dominance from his opponent greatly diminished his confidence and crushed any hopes of a comeback on his part.

Flying across the court, Carlos Alcaraz sealed the victory, showcasing what he already is; a true number 1 player, the best player of 2025. Clear passage to the ATP Finals 2025 semifinals, which also secures the qualification of Álex de Miñaur and, incidentally, avoids a matchup with Sinner until a potential final. Kudos to Lorenzo Musetti, who left it all on the court and displayed great form throughout the year. This time, he came up against a player on another level, one that only one more can aspire to reach at the moment.
