Alcaraz beats Fritz to help Jodar reach ATP finals

Carlos Alcaraz saved two match points to beat Taylor Fritz in the Paris Masters quarter-finals - a result which helped Spanish compatriot Rafael Jodar qualify for the ATP Finals.

Alcaraz claimed a 6-7 (10-12) 7-5 6-3 win over Fritz which also ended the American's hopes of reaching the season-ending event in Turin, Italy.

Fritz edged a tight opening set, winning the tie-break after both players had chances to take it.

He then moved a break ahead in the second set, but Alcaraz rallied to level the match after saving two match points and breaking his opponent twice.

The 23-year-old Spaniard dominated the decider after moving 3-1 ahead before closing out the contest with a powerful forehand.
