Sinner’s Turin Triumph Tightens Race With Alcaraz and Frames 2026 Push

Coaches cite a revamped serve plus a settled team as the edge in Turin.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner won the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin over Carlos Alcaraz without dropping a set and conceding just one service break for the week.
  • The victory narrows Sinner’s gap to Alcaraz at the top of the ATP rankings to roughly 550 points.
  • Coaches Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill detail service tweaks—higher elbow, a slightly leftward toss, striking closer to the baseline, and added pace on first and second serves—that increased free points and sustained pressure.
  • Cahill will remain with Sinner in 2026 in a reduced role as the team plans an off‑season split between Dubai and Monte Carlo to translate indoor form to outdoor hard courts and clay, with clay a stated priority.
  • A post‑final clip of Sinner embracing Mercedes junior driver Kimi Antonelli went viral, underscoring the player’s growing cultural reach beyond tennis.
