In a blockbuster conclusion to the men's tennis season, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set for a monumental clash in the final of the ATP Finals in Turin. The showdown, scheduled for Sunday 16 November 2025, not only decides the year-end champion but also who will pocket a record-shattering financial reward.
The Stakes in Turin
Both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner powered through the tournament undefeated, setting up their sixth final against each other this season. This marks the first time the two young titans have met at the prestigious season-ending event.
The winner will not only claim the coveted trophy but also a staggering $5,071,000 (£3.87m) in prize money for an undefeated champion. This sum slightly eclipses the purse at the US Open just two months prior, which itself was the largest in Grand Slam history. Alcaraz secured a significant milestone before the final, clinching the year-end World No. 1 ranking.
Breaking Down the ATP Finals Prize Money
The financial rewards on offer in Turin are immense, structured to reward consistent performance. For the singles competition, players receive a participation fee alone of $331,000 (£252k).
The full breakdown for an undefeated champion's journey is as follows:
- Participation Fee: $331,000 (£252k)
- Per round-robin match win: $396,500 (£302k)
- Semi-final match win: $1,183,500 (£902k)
- Final win: $2,367,000 (£1.8m)
- Total Undefeated Champion: $5,071,000 (£3.87m)
The doubles competition also offers significant rewards, with an undefeated champion team earning $959,300 (£732k).
How the ATP Finals Prize Compares to Grand Slams
The prize money at the 2025 ATP Finals firmly establishes it as one of the most lucrative events in tennis. The champion's cheque surpasses what was on offer at all four Grand Slam tournaments this year.
- 2025 ATP Finals champion: $5.07m (£3.87m)
- 2025 US Open champion: $5m (£3.74m)
- 2025 Wimbledon champion: $4m (£3m)
- 2025 French Open champion: $2.9m (£2.17m)
- 2025 Australian Open champion: $2.3m (£1.75m)
This trend of growing prize money is mirrored in the women's game. Last week, Elena Rybakina won the WTA Finals in Riyadh, claiming a record $5,235,000 (£3.98m), believed to be the single biggest payday in women's sports history.
The stage is set for a spectacular finale. With a historic rivalry renewed and a record financial prize awaiting the victor, the clash between Alcaraz and Sinner promises to be an unforgettable end to the tennis year.
