Sinner Retains ATP Finals Title With Straight‑Sets Win Over Alcaraz in Turin

The victory trims his deficit to 550 points, positioning him to target No.1 in early 2026 rather than January due to Australian Open points to defend.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner defeated world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 to claim a second consecutive ATP Finals crown and completed the week unbeaten.
  • Sinner conceded only one service break across five matches and extended his reported indoor winning streak to 31 matches.
  • Post‑tournament rankings list Alcaraz at 12,050 points and Sinner at 11,500, leaving a 550‑point gap between the top two.
  • Analyses note a January takeover is unlikely because Sinner must defend 2,000 Australian Open points, with a more realistic opening in spring 2026 as Alcaraz has points dropping between February and March.
  • Alcaraz praised Sinner and received a warm ovation from the Turin crowd, while Sinner celebrated with his team and family, with local reports citing €5 million in prize money for an unbeaten champion.
