TURIN, Italy — Carlos Alcaraz is one win away from securing the year-ending No. 1 ranking.
Alcaraz rallied past Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-3 on Tuesday at the ATP Finals and now needs to either win his final group match against Lorenzo Musetti or an eventual semifinal to finish a year No. 1 for the second time in his career.
Alcaraz, who improved to 2-0 at the season-ending event for the top eight players, could seal a spot in the semifinals if Alex de Minaur beats Musetti later.

Carlos Alcaraz has seized control of Alex de Minaur's group in the ATP Finals after coming back from a set down to defeat Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2-7) 7-5 6-3 in Turin.
The world No.2 needed two hours, 48 minutes to see off the American and back up his first round victory over de Minaur.
That left the Australian knowing if he can beat Lorenzo Musetti in the Jimmy Connors group's second match on Tuesday (local time) he would set up a winner-takes-all final group tie with Fritz as both chase a semi-final place.
