Jaume Munar's run at the Japan Open ended in the semifinals, where Carlos Alcaraz wore him down to claim a place in the final. Reaching the last four still marks a solid week for the Spaniard.
Munar pushed Alcaraz in a semifinal that the headline describes as a battle Alcaraz had to outlast.
The loss ended Munar's campaign in Tokyo one step short of the final.
Alcaraz moved on to the title match, leaving Munar to take the positives from a deep run.
