Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Shanghai Masters after beating Taylor Fritz at Japan Open – The Athletic
Carlos Alcaraz tightened his grip on the world No. 1 spot by beating a physically compromised Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 to win the Japan Open Tuesday in Tokyo, before withdrawing from the Shanghai Masters to manage his body as he seeks the year-end top spot.
Alcaraz is looking to secure the year-end top spot for the first time in his career, and has ensured that Jannik Sinner, who plays the China Open final Wednesday, can’t close the gap on him this week. Both events have 500 points on offer for the winner, and so in the race to be the year-end world No. 1, which is based on points earned in 2025, Alcaraz will have a lead of 2,590 over Sinner even if the Italian beats Learner Tien in Beijing.
