Carlos Alcaraz wins first title in eight months after injury hell

Carlos Alcaraz claimed the Japan Open crown in Tokyo after defeating Jiri Lehecka in straight sets, finishing 7-6, 6-4 on Tuesday. This triumph marks his first tournament victory since February, following a lengthy recovery from a wrist injury that sidelined him for over four months.

The Spanish star secured his second consecutive title in the Japanese capital despite a wobbly start that included dropping an early lead to his Czech opponent. Meanwhile, rival Jannik Sinner announced the premature end to his own campaign due to a knee issue.
