Carlos Alcaraz picked up his eighth ATP Tour title of the year on Tuesday, beating Taylor Fritz in the final of the Japan Open.
Fritz gave it a go despite dealing with a leg issue but couldn’t stop Alcaraz from getting another win, this time under the roof in Tokyo.
The Spaniard has been on quite a run since then, picking up 18 wins in his last 19 matches.

Alcaraz has only lost once in that stretch and looked every bit in form again on Tuesday, even against Fritz, who’d beaten him not long ago at the Laver Cup.
Alcaraz took this one 6-4, 6-4, and while he’ll be happy to add another trophy to his collection, there was one thing about the match that clearly didn’t sit well with him.
