Alcaraz into Japan semis as Gauff wins in China
The Island
|September 29, 2025
Carlos Alcaraz marched into the semifinals of the Japan Open with an imperious 6-2 6-4 victory over Brandon Nakashima in Tokyo.
-
The Spanish top seed fired 39 winners and never faced a break point as he brushed aside the American, dismissing any lingering concerns about an ankle injury he sustained in the opening round.
The world number one will face Norwegian fourth seed Casper Ruud in the semifinals on Monday as he aims for an eighth ATP title of an astonishing season.
"I think I just played unbelievable today, I'm not going to lie," said Alcaraz. "I felt like I could do everything on court, playing every shot."
Elsewhere, Coco Gauff overcame more problems with her serve to edge past Leylah Fernandez in the third round of the China Open in Beijing.
Gauff will meet Swiss 15th seed Belinda Bencic in the last 16 of the WTA 1000 event on Tuesday.
Great Britain's Emma Raducanu will play American fifth seed Jessica Pegula in the pick of Monday's third-round ties, while Sonay Kartal faces rising Australian teenager Maya Joint.
