Sinner Retains ATP Finals Crown Over Alcaraz in Straight Sets

Alcaraz finishes the season as year‑end No. 1 despite the loss.

Overview

  • The Italian beat the Spaniard 7:6 (7:4), 7:5 in 2:15 in Turin to defend his title.
  • Play paused for about ten minutes due to a medical incident in the stands, with organizers later reporting the woman left the arena after treatment.
  • Alcaraz received on‑court attention for a right‑thigh issue and played with tape, leaving his Davis Cup participation dependent on fitness.
  • Sinner stretched his indoor hard‑court winning run to 31 matches, went unbeaten in sets all week, and became the youngest to repeat the title since Roger Federer in 2004.
  • The final capped a season the pair dominated by splitting the four majors, after Alcaraz routed Félix Auger‑Aliassime and Sinner eased past Alex de Minaur in the semifinals.
