Young Rivals Clash for Ultimate Prize in Turin
The stage is set for a blockbuster conclusion to the ATP season as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner prepare to face off for the coveted year-end crown at the ATP Finals in Turin. This Sunday showdown on 16 November 2025 marks the sixth final these two phenomenal talents have contested this season, a testament to their dominance in men's tennis.
A Season of Epic Encounters Culminates in Italy
This final is the latest chapter in an unforgettable rivalry that has featured grand slam spectacles at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. It was at the US Open, just two months ago, that Alcaraz secured a decisive victory, claiming their trilogy of major finals. This win also cemented a significant personal achievement for the Spaniard: Alcaraz has secured the year-end World No. 1 ranking for the first time since 2022, capping what has been the most consistent season of his young career at just 22 years old.
Now, he aims to add another first to his list of accolades: the ATP Finals trophy, along with the staggering $5 million (£3.87m) in prize money that accompanies it.
Sinner's Dominant Run and Home Crowd Advantage
Standing in his way, however, is a formidable opponent in peak form. The defending champion, Jannik Sinner, arrives with an intimidating record. The 24-year-old Italian has been flawless in Turin, winning nine consecutive matches at the ATP Finals without dropping a single set. His dominant run on indoor hard courts makes him a fearsome challenger, and he will undoubtedly be fuelled by the energy of his home fans in Turin as he seeks revenge for his US Open defeat.
Meanwhile, British tennis fans also have a major reason to tune in. The doubles final guarantees a British winner, with Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski taking on Henry Patten and his Finnish teammate Harri Heliovaara for the year-end doubles crown.
This climactic battle between Alcaraz and Sinner is more than just a match; it is the final act of a season defined by their incredible rivalry, with both players determined to cap their dominant years with the ultimate indoor prize.
