Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 7-6, 7-5 to win the Nitto ATP Finals for a second straight year without dropping a set.
  • The updated ATP totals are Alcaraz 12,050 points and Sinner 11,500, narrowing the gap to 550.
  • Analysts note a January surge to No. 1 is unlikely given Sinner’s need to defend 2,000 Australian Open points compared with Alcaraz’s 400.
  • Projections highlight the spring swing as Sinner’s best chance, with Alcaraz set to drop around 1,010 points between February and March and the Italian defending less in that period.
  • Sinner extended his indoor streak to 31 consecutive wins and dominated all week in Turin, drawing praise from Alcaraz for his level and composure.
