For the second consecutive year, the Murcian arrives mentally exhausted, which results in slightly lower performance than usual.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz has finished the year as number 3 in the ATP ranking despite winning two Grand Slam titles, leaving him with a lead of 7,010 points. This immediately results in him starting the 2025 Australian Open outside the top 2 and, therefore, potentially facing Sinner or Zverev in the semifinals. The Italian leads by almost 4,000 points, with the possibility of increasing this if he wins in Turin, while the German holds a 905-point advantage, which could grow if he reaches the final or wins the 2024 ATP Finals.

Carlos Alcaraz will not need the calculator tonight and can start thinking about his trip to Malaga for the Davis Cup 2024. The Spaniard is mathematically out of the 2024 ATP Finals as the only hope would have been if, in the event Rublev wins against Ruud, Alcaraz's percentage of games won would be better than that of the Russian and Norwegian. However, there is no possibility of that happening.

Rublev 17-25
Alcaraz 29-35
Alcaraz is out regardless of tonight match's score as it's impossible for him to finish with a better games percentage than both Ruud and Rublev

Alcaraz, about the upcoming Davis Cup: "Perhaps it will be the most special tournament of my career"
The man from Murcia is already thinking about the Ensaladera, where he will represent Spain in a tournament that will serve as a farewell to Rafa. What is more important to him, the event or the farewell to the Balearic?
The rivalry aimed at fighting for tennis glory for many years is being called into question by Alexander Zverev, who wants to interfere in that face-off. The German is on the right path to form a triumvirate, at least for a while, with an Italian and a Spaniard. This is evidenced by the fact that he has a winning record against both. He holds a 4-2 record against Sinner and a 6-5 record against Alcaraz. Only Nadal knows what it's like to have the upper hand against both players.

Spanish did not materialize its good moments of play on the scoreboard and is eliminated from the ATP Finals 2024 after losing to Zverev.
We meet with Ferrero and Alcaraz's mentor as the 30th anniversary of the Academy that took them to number 1 is celebrated. A journey from Juan Carlos to Carlitos.
Today's training session for Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals has left very positive impressions regarding his health status. The player from Murcia has been dealing with an untimely cold for a few days, which has not allowed him to compete at 100%. However, today it seems that he may have improved significantly. Carlitos has been playing and training these days with a nasal strip that helped him breathe better, a crucial accessory these days. Nevertheless, today he went to his training session without that strip on his nose, which suggests that Alcaraz might be feeling somewhat better and breathing with less difficulty.

The John Newcombe Group of the Nitto ATP Finals 2024 is heading into its final day with everything up in the air: no player is qualified, and none are eliminated. How is that possible? Because that's how mathematics work. However, some players control their own fate while others don't, like Andrey Rublev, who is nearly out. Or Alexander Zverev, who needs to win a set on Friday to secure his spot. And what about Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud? Here lies the key, as both currently hold a 1-1 record. If both were to win their respective matches, one would need to look at the number of sets won, or even the number of games. Be wary in case of a technical tie, as in a head-to-head situation, the Norwegian emerges victorious.
