Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4) 7-5 in the final of the ATP Finals in Turin, securing the title for the second consecutive year without dropping a set. The Italian extends his unbeaten run on indoor courts to 31 matches.
Alcaraz started strongly, holding break points at 6-5 in the first set, but Sinner saved both and dominated the tiebreak. In the second set, Alcaraz broke Sinner's serve for the first time in the tournament, but the world No.1 immediately broke back and took control. Alcaraz appeared to struggle with a hamstring injury as Sinner pulled away.
Despite the loss, Alcaraz's performance throughout the week secured him the year-end world No.1 ranking. In the trophy presentation, Sinner praised his rival, saying, 'If it's not me, I want it to be Carlos – he inspires me to work and is the most energetic player on tour.' Alcaraz joked, 'Rest for next year because I will be ready.'
The two players embraced after the match, reflecting their mutual respect. Sinner’s victory cements his dominance indoors, while Alcaraz looks ahead to next season.
