Taylor Fritz boosted his hopes of reaching the last four of the ATP Finals with a comeback victory against Australia's Alex de Minaur.
De Minaur needed to defeat the American fifth seed in straight sets for any chance of progressing to the semi-finals in Turin, Italy.
However, his hopes were crushed when Fritz stole the second set against the run of play.
Fritz, who went on to win 5-7 6-4 6-3, will progress to the last four of the season-ending tournament if Jannik Sinner beats Daniil Medvedev later on Thursday.
