Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz enters Turin with a slim ATP Race lead of about 11,050 points to Jannik Sinner’s roughly 10,000.
- The ATP Finals offer a maximum of 1,500 points to an undefeated champion, with 200 per group win, 400 for the semifinal and 500 for the final.
- Alcaraz controls the permutations and would clinch year-end No. 1 by sweeping his three round-robin matches regardless of Sinner’s results.
- Sinner’s path requires winning the title, with an undefeated run giving him the best chance and needing at least one Alcaraz group-stage loss to overtake him.
- The rivals practiced together in Turin and shared a selfie, with Alcaraz emphasizing a respectful, friendly rivalry off the court.
