TURIN, Italy — Alex de Minaur<\/a> claimed a maiden ATP Finals victory that gave the Australian a chance of making the semifinals on Thursday.<\/p>\n De Minaur beat Taylor Fritz<\/a> 7-6 (3), 6-3 for his first victory in six matches at the season-ending event for the top eight players, following his debut last year.<\/p>\n “I finally won here in Torino,” De Minaur said.<\/p>\n The seventh-seeded De Minaur needed a straight sets win to stay in contention for a semifinal spot, which he will secure if Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> beats Lorenzo Musetti<\/a> in the late match on Thursday.<\/p>\n A win for Alcaraz would also see the Spaniard seal the year-ending No. 1 ranking.<\/p>\n “Whatever happens, happens,” De Minaur added. “But I won’t be paying too much attention to the tennis. I’ll be relaxing and having a nice night here in Torino.”<\/p>\n De Minaur never looked back after dominating the tiebreak and had a chance to seal victory on Fritz’s serve when he moved to match point, but the American held. De Minaur kept his nerve on serve to triumph.<\/p>\n Musetti can reach the semifinals if he beats Alcaraz. The sixth-seeded Fritz, who reached the final in Turin last year, was eliminated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nov 13, 2025, 10:25 AM ET TURIN, Italy — Alex de Minaur claimed a maiden ATP Finals victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-289433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
