Carlos Alcaraz Defeated Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 To Claim The Japan Open, Marking His Eighth Title Of The Year. It Was His Tenth Final Of The Season And His 67th Win This Year, A Personal Record For The World No. 1.

This Was The Second Meeting Between The Two Players This Month. Fritz Had Previously Beaten Alcaraz At The Laver Cup, But It Was Alcaraz’s Day This Time Around.

After The Win, Alcaraz Said, “It’s Been My Best Season So Far, Without A Doubt. Eight Titles, 10 Finals… That Shows How Hard I’ve Worked Just To Be Able To Experience These Moments And Accomplish My Goals. I Didn’t Start The Year That Well, Struggling Emotionally, So How I Came Back From That, I’m Just Really Proud Of Myself, And Of All The People Around Me Who Have Helped Me To Be In This Position.”
