Top Seeds Alcaraz and Fritz to Clash in Japan Open 2025 Final
29 Sep
Summary
- First top-two seeds final in Tokyo since 2011
- Alcaraz and Fritz to face off on September 30
- Match to start at 2:30 PM IST at Ariake Coliseum

On September 30, 2025, the Japan Open will witness a historic final as the top two seeds, Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz, go head-to-head for the title. This will be the first time in 14 years that the tournament's top two players have reached the final in Tokyo.
The last time the top-two seeds met in a Japan Open final was back in 2011, when Rafael Nadal faced off against Andy Murray. Now, the rising star Alcaraz and the in-form Fritz will battle it out for the prestigious trophy.
The match is scheduled to start at 2:30 PM IST and will be played at the iconic Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo. Given Alcaraz's exceptional form this season, he is the slight favorite to emerge victorious. However, Fritz has also had an impressive run and will look to push the Spaniard to the limit in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
