Sinner Retains ATP Finals Title as Alcaraz Withdraws From Davis Cup With Hamstring Injury

Alcaraz stepped out of Spain’s squad after an MRI in Bologna found right‑hamstring edema and doctors advised against playing.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 in Turin to defend the ATP Finals crown without dropping a set for a second straight year.
  • Carlos Alcaraz announced he will miss the Davis Cup Finals after tests confirmed a right-hamstring edema following discomfort during the Turin final.
  • Spain was due to face the Czech Republic in Thursday’s quarterfinal, with the Spanish federation citing medical guidance for Alcaraz’s withdrawal.
  • Sinner will also skip the Davis Cup to extend his off-season after a year that included all four Grand Slam finals, titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and a long indoor winning run.
  • The season cemented the Alcaraz–Sinner duopoly, with Alcaraz finishing as year-end No. 1 after winning the French Open and US Open and logging roughly 80 matches.
