Year-End No. 1 on the Line as Alcaraz and Sinner Open ATP Finals in Turin

Three group-stage wins would seal the ranking for Alcaraz.

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.
