BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune kept alive their slim hopes of reaching the ATP Finals with wins at the Swiss Indoors tournament on Tuesday.

Tsitsipas, ranked No. 11, outlasted Francisco Cerundolo 6-3, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), while 14th-ranked Rune beat Nicolas Jarry 6-4, 7-6 (3). The top-eight Finals are next month in Turin.
