Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the final of the 2025 Japan Open in Tokyo with a score of 6-4, 6-4 to claim his eighth ATP title of the season. This victory was Alcaraz's quick revenge after his recent defeat by Fritz at the Laver Cup just nine days earlier. Despite dealing with an ankle injury during the tournament and Fritz receiving medical treatment for a left thigh injury during the match, Alcaraz played with explosive power and control, ultimately overwhelming Fritz to secure the win after 93 minutes. This victory brought Alcaraz's season record to 67 wins and 8 titles, putting him close to Jannik Sinner's 73 wins record from 2024. The final was notable as the first ATP 500 final between two Top-5 players since October 2024, with Alcaraz now leading Fritz 4-1 in their head-to-head series.
