Alcaraz beats Fritz in thriller as Team Europe lead Laver Cup

Carlos Alcaraz secured his first win against a top-10 opponent since the Australian Open final in a 6-3 4-6 (11-9) thriller against Taylor Fritz as Team Europe secured a narrow 7-5 lead heading into the final day of the Laver Cup.

Fritz's only career victory over Alcaraz came during Team World's win over Europe in last year's Laver Cup, but Alcaraz saved two match points against the American and came out on top in a Saturday that featured six match-deciding tiebreaks in eight matches.
