Alcaraz shows courage against Zizou Bergs to confirm that he is ready to compete for everything in Tokyo. Zero news about his left ankle, which responded perfectly.
ATP
His second-round match hasn't started yet, and we don't even know how his body will respond when he steps on the court to face Zizou Bergs, but the ATP Tokyo 2025 draw has already resolved all matches of the day except for Carlos Alcaraz's. Therefore, we already know who the player would be that he could face in the quarterfinals, which is none other than the American Brandon Nakashima, a big hitter to fear in these conditions. The American gave no chance to Marton Fucsovics (7-5, 6-3), so he already rests among the top eight of the edition.
Other results of the day
- J Brooksby d. L Darderi: 76 61

Lorenzo Musetti had to sweat to overcome the first round of the ATP 500 in Beijing against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, a match where he even collapsed during the second set tiebreak against the Frenchman. “These damn Chinese... they're always coughing!”, exclaimed the Italian without realizing that there is not a single court on the entire circuit without small built-in microphones.
A moment of outburst that, curiously, helped him relax and refocus to eventually win a three-set match. Now the draw has him facing another French player (Adrian Mannarino), although the focus will be on the audience. Will the front row spectators catch a cold again?

Classic trap match that the Italian had to solve in three sets, enduring the attacks of a Frenchman who ended up losing his strength in the decisive set.
Not even a couple of hours have passed since this morning when we reported the news about the viral comment by Lorenzo Musetti at the ATP 500 in Beijing, during his match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Italian, annoyed by some people who wouldn't stop coughing in the stands, got heated and didn't hold back his comment: "These damn guys, they won't stop coughing." Now, it's time to share the positive side, with Lorenzo reaching out on his social media to apologize and admit it was a moment of high tension, although he acknowledges there's no excuse. A perfect way to turn the page, yet we all know that in a sport as emotional as tennis, these things can happen again.

A few hours before his second-round match at the ATP 500 de Tokio against Zizou Bergs, everyone at the venue was focused on the physical condition of Carlos Alcaraz, whether the young man from Murcia had built up enough confidence in his ankle over the last 48 hours to take the court on Saturday with certainty. So far, based on what we have observed during the pre-match training, always surrounded by his team, the feeling is one of calmness. He may not be at 100% this morning, but it seems the Spaniard has passed that small test, and we will see him on the court aiming to continue advancing in the main draw.

Major change in Joao Fonseca's schedule in this final stretch of the season. After winning the Laver Cup in San Francisco, the Brazilian's next scheduled stop should have been the Shanghai Masters 1000, however, the Chinese fans will have to wait as Fonseca will not be there. His inner circle confirmed to local media that Fonseca will skip the Asian swing this year, opting to focus more on the European indoor tournaments circuit. Therefore, these will be the last four events where we can watch him in action in 2025: Brussels, Basel, Paris-Bercy, and Metz. Just in case there were any doubts, no, he won't be defending his title at the #NextGen ATP Finals either.

A very tough season for Hubert Hurkacz has finally come to an end, as we have just learned. The Polish player tried everything, including a stint on the clay court and an attempt on the grass court that did not go as expected. Not having competed since the Hertogenbosch tournament, this evening we read a statement from the player confirming the end of his season, hoping that the upcoming months will help him be back at 100% and start 2026 with the best possible conditions. Speedy recovery, friend Jerzy!
Hubert Hurkacz will no longer compete in the 2025 season.

Former tennis player Jerzy Janowicz reflected to TennisWorldItalia on the level of the show today, referring to the immaculate era of the legendary 'Big Three':
"I miss a lot the rivalry between Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer. Nowadays, in tennis, everything seems more boring to me; it seems like everyone plays the same. Perhaps I am a bit nostalgic, but they were the most interesting to follow, more than Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who are also very strong."
The Pole, frustrated by countless injuries and physical problems, decided to retire at home already 3 years ago, at the Szczecin 2022 Challenger. Currently, he dedicates himself to playing paddle, not as a profession, but as a hobby.
