Carlos Alcaraz has match points! A point away from another final against Sinner.

Carlos Alcaraz leads Felix Auger-Aliassime 4-1 in the semifinal of the ATP Finals. Felix is not playing poorly. Alcaraz is playing next level. What would be a winner against most players, Carlos gets back.

Glad Musetti and FAA were able to get wins. Tough for Ben, but he's young and this is a good experience for him.

FAA grabs the second set and the momentum!

Felix Auger-Aliassime will serve to stay in the match, force a tiebreaker.

This ball boy decided he was the opening act for the Ben Shelton/Alexander Zverev match. 😂 That look says, What? I'm vibing. youtube.com/shorts/rSTFy...

Wonderful personal essay from Christian Harrison on going from junior phenom to having to overcome eight surgeries and reinventing himself as a doubles specialist. So happy for him and Evan King for making the ATP Finals. www.atptour.com/en/news/chri...

LOL

Oh man, Lorenzo Musetti fought like hell, but Novak Djokovic prevails. Novak is exhausted. Felix Auger-Aliassime, pack your bags, dude, you're back in the ATP Finals. Djokovic and FAA are scheduled to play. They aren't even in the group photo. Musetti has lost six finals in a row. Damn.

Novak Djokovic breaks Musetti again and will serve for the match at 6-5. Musetti will try to force a tiebreaker. Oh the drama!

Congrats to Elena Rybakina, winner of the 2025 WTA Finals. Elena was the last player in but defeated No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, 6-3, 7-6 (0). Rybakina finishes the tournament undefeated and will gain 1,500 ranking points, moving her up to No. 5 and knocking Jessica Pegula to No. 6.

Musetti breaks back. Will serve to go up 6-5 on Djokovic. A spot in the ATP Finals is up for grabs. Musetti wins, he's in. If he doesn't, Felix Auger-Aliassime is in. Unless Djokovic withdraws and lets them both in. If Novak can't win a 250-level title, it might be time to hang it up.

Lorenzo Musetti entered the Helenic Championships knowing he had to win the tournament to secure a spot in the ATP Finals. He reached the final, took the first set off Novak Djokovic, and was up a break in the third. Djokovic is serving for the match. Can Musetti break? He has two break points!

Lorenzo Musetti keeps hope alive with a 6-0, 5-7, 7-5 win over Sebastian Korda in Athens. Next up is Novak Djokovic, who will have a say in Musetti's destiny. If Musetti wins, he's in the ATP Finals. If he loses, Djokovic could withdraw from the finals, and Musetti would still get in.
