Tennis fans are in for a spectacular season finale as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner prepare for another epic showdown, this time competing for the prestigious ATP Finals title in Turin.
The final, a first ATP Finals meeting between the rivals, serves as the ultimate decider for two players who have dominated the 2025 season, with each securing two grand slam titles.
Match Details and How to Watch
The highly anticipated singles final between Alcaraz and Sinner is scheduled to begin at approximately 5pm GMT on Sunday 16 November.
For viewers in the UK, the match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Tennis. The action will follow the ATP Finals doubles final, which is set to start after 2pm GMT.
Beyond the glory of claiming the year-end championship, the undefeated champion will walk away with a staggering $5,071,000 (£3.87m) in prize money, a sum that even surpasses the winner's cheque from the US Open held just two months prior.
The Rivalry: Head-to-Head and Form Guide
This final marks their first tour-level encounter since Alcaraz triumphed in the US Open final, concluding a trilogy of grand slam finals that also included dramatic clashes at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Officially, Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 10-5. However, Sinner's victory in the Wimbledon final snapped a five-match losing streak against the Spaniard. Their most recent indoor hard-court match was four years ago at the Paris Masters, which Alcaraz won.
Alcaraz arrives having secured the year-end world No 1 ranking for the first time since 2022, capping his most consistent season to date. He is aiming for his ninth tournament victory of the year.
Standing in his way is Sinner, who enjoys formidable home support and an incredible 30-match winning streak on indoor hard courts. The Italian is also the defending champion at the ATP Finals, carrying a nine-match winning streak at the event since his loss in the 2023 final.
Stakes and Prize Money Breakdown
The financial rewards for the ATP Finals are immense. Here is how the prize money is allocated:
- Participation Fee: $331,000 (£252k)
- Per round-robin match win: $396,500 (£302k)

- Final win: $2,367,000 (£1.8m)
- Undefeated champion: $5,071,000 (£3.87m)
This winner's purse eclipses that of the 2025 US Open ($5m), Wimbledon ($4m), French Open ($2.9m), and Australian Open ($2.3m), underlining the significance of the season-ending championship.
With the year-end No. 1 ranking already decided, all focus shifts to the court where two of the sport's brightest stars will battle for one of its most coveted titles.
