Fritz, representing Team World, shockingly dominated Team Europe's high-profile Spaniard despite his 0-3 win-loss record against him heading into the contest.The American's 6-3, 6-2 win proved instrumental in the long run at the men's team tennis tournament, as Team World reclaimed the crown having relinquished it to Team Europe with Alcaraz at its forefront at the 2024 edition.In a recent interview with Olympics.com, Fritz laid bare his thoughts on not just beating the Spaniard, but Alexander Zverev as well in the deciding match at the Laver Cup, saying:"Being able to beat Carlos and Sasha in back-to-back matches, obviously it's not at a Grand Slam but I think that just does a lot for my belief that I can also do it in a big tournament. I’m someone who always said that if I feel like once I do something once, for me just mentally it feels much easier to repeat it and do it again."Carlos Alcaraz though, is in red-hot form at the Japan Open. The Spaniard experienced a first-set stumble against Laver Cup teammate and doubles partner Casper Ruud in the semis, but stormed back into the match, ultimately taking it 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
