Overview

  • Sinner beat Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 to defend the ATP Finals title in Turin, winning the event without dropping a set and extending his indoor streak to 31 matches.
  • Despite the loss, Alcaraz secured the year-end No. 1 ranking, capping a season in which he and Sinner split the biggest titles and met repeatedly in finals.
  • Alcaraz received on-court treatment for a right hamstring problem during the final and traveled to Bologna for an MRI that will guide Spain’s Davis Cup plans.
  • The rivalry dominated 2025: they played 16 times, faced off in three Grand Slam finals in one season, and have an exactly even 1,651–1,651 total points in their head-to-head.
  • Sinner credited a sharper serve and added unpredictability from the baseline for the win, and he will begin his offseason after opting out of the Davis Cup.
