The last ATP tournament of 2026, beyond the ATP Finals, will feature a match between two tennis players who have been in the Top 10 in recent years, but injuries have prevented them from being present at the ATP Finals, among other things. In fact, a year ago, both participated in Turin and faced each other in the Round Robin. However, this year they will meet in the semifinals of the ATP 250 in Stockholm, namely Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz.

The Italian seems to have found his tennis again in this final stretch of the season, which will help him gain momentum for the start of 2025. He won his first title in four years at the ATP 250 in Lyon, and after defeating Fritz in the final, he then beat Alexander Zverev at the Masters 1000 in Paris and now seeks to play another final after winning against Ugo Humbert 7-6(5), 3-6, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.

Fritz and Musetti want to close the year with their second title of the season

Meanwhile, the American, who after this tournament will pack his bags for Turin to be a substitute and come into action in case of injury to any of the eight players in the ATP Finals, also seeks his second title of the year, following the one he won in the summer at the ATP 500 in Washington. But he didn’t have to compete in the quarterfinals, as his opponent, Holger Rune, withdrew due to physical discomfort.

On the other side of the draw in the Swedish tournament, there will be a South American derby between Alejandro Tabilo, who defeated Alex Michelsen (7-6(2), 7-5), and Thiago AgustĂ­n Tirante, who was superior to Alexander Shevchenko (7-6(5), 6-7(5), 6-3). And both will seek a spot in the final to compete for their first ATP title of the year.
