Alkaras wins first ATP title in Tokyo since February

Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaras, the third racket in the world, became the winner of the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo.

In the final, the 23-year-old Spaniard defeated Czech Jiri Legechka, the 19th racket of the world, with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 6:4.

Alkaras won his 27th career ATP title and first since February this year (Doha).

For Alcaras, the final in Tokyo was his fourth this season and his first since the April Masters tournament in Monte Carlo, in which he lost to Italian Yannick Sinner. After that, the Spaniard missed 4.5 months due to a wrist injury.

Alkaras extended the winning streak at the tournament in Tokyo to ten matches. Last year he played here for the first time and immediately took the title.

For the victory in Tokyo, Alkaras will receive $437.95 thousand prizes and 500 rating points. The Czechs will receive $235.68 thousand and 330 points.
