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

Last week, Roger Federer's statements made headlines worldwide. The Swiss mentioned that the courts had significantly slowed down, and tournament directors were aiming to have a very similar surface to ensure finals between Alcaraz and Sinner, those that would generate the most for their event: many fans of the Italian took these words to heart, and Jannik Sinner himself was asked in the press conference before his debut at the ATP Beijing 2025 about Roger's comments. His response? One in which he actually agreed:
"The hard courts are very similar to each other. There are moments when there are a couple of changes, minor changes. A tournament that comes to mind is Indian Wells because the ball bounces very high, and it's different how the ball reacts when it comes into contact with the surface, but yes, we more or less have similar playing situations. This has been the case for quite some time, I don't know if there will be changes or not. I'm just a tennis player trying to adapt in the best possible way. I believe I'm doing a good job. We'll see what the future holds for us in each tournament", highlighted the one from San Candido in words reported by Ubitennis.
