Although Sinner after the success on Millman declared that “I’m not thinking about the Atp Finals, I want to be focused on every match and we will see in the end how he does it”, the elimination of Felix Auger-Aliassime (beaten by the Spanish Vinolas 6-4 6 -2) is good news for qualifying in Turin. The Canadian is No. 11 in the ATP Race, behind Sinner. Andy Murray’s race continues, on the scoreboard thanks to a wild card: the 34-year-old Scottish eliminated 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz 5-7 6-3 6-2 in an intergenerational battle. After losing the first set, in the second set Murray served from below to go up 2-1, then saved 4 break points to close without a story, while Alcaraz had to ask for the intervention of the physiotherapist for a foot problem. The next opponent will be the German Zverev, who eliminated the American Brooksby 6-4 3-6 6-1.
