Carlos Alcaraz, the world number three, beat Denis Shapovalov 7-6(3), 2-1 after the Canadian was hampered by a physical problem, and will meet fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar, who beat Kyrian Jacquet 6-4, 6-2, in the semifinals on Monday. The tournament is in Tokyo, not Beijing as the headline of the request suggests, and Alcaraz is defending the title he won there a year ago. Munar returns to a semifinal for the first time in almost a year and will climb at least fifteen places back into the top 50, while Alcaraz leads their head-to-head 3-1.
