The Jimmy Connors Group was on full display at the Nitto ATP Finals on Tuesday and neither match disappointed the raucous crowds in Turin, Italy.
Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy's Lorenzo Musetti both staged rallies to earn victories in three-set matches that approached the 3-hour mark.
Alcaraz moved to 2-0 with a 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-3 over Taylor Fritz while Musetti relied on the energy of the crowd to topple Australia's Alex De Minaur, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5.
Fritz and Musetti are both 1-1 and the despondent De Minaur fell to 0-2.
The opening match between Alcaraz and Fritz featured marathon games with the servers fending off numerous break points. Fritz, who defeated the 2025 two-time Grand Slam champion in the Rod Laver Cup in September, prevailed convincingly, 7-2, in the first-set tie-breake
