Почему это важно
The Japan Open is an ATP-level tournament held in Tokyo, and a repeat title by the top seed keeps a high-profile international player at the centre of the event's coverage in Japanese business newspapers. The documents also record Alcaraz's return from a right-wrist injury, which makes the result a marker of his form rather than a one-off.
