Overview
- Sinner defeated world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (4), 7-5 to claim his second consecutive ATP Finals title.
- Play was halted for about 12 minutes early in the match after a spectator suffered a medical episode in the stands.
- Alcaraz took two medical timeouts for a right thigh (biceps femoris) issue, and his Davis Cup participation will be decided after medical checks in Bologna.
- Updated ATP totals place Alcaraz at 12,050 points and Sinner at 11,500, with coverage noting a January return to No. 1 is unlikely due to Australian Open points Sinner must defend.
- Sinner extended his strong indoor streak, as the event’s safety record faced renewed attention following earlier reports of two spectator cardiac deaths during the tournament.
