Sinner has appeared in the last three ATP Finals championship matches, winning the last two back-to-back. He lost the 2023 edition to Serbia Novak Djokovicthe legendary player who is the Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist.
Their match today was their sixth meeting in 2025, after Sinner and Alcaraz had dominated the season.
“It was tough playing against Carlos,” Sinner said afterwards. “He’s one of the best returners in the game. I’m very happy. It was a very, very tough game. It means a lot to me to end the season this way.”
Sinner and Alcaraz have shared the year’s four Grand Slam titles, with Sinner taking the Australian and Wimbledon crowns, while the Spaniard triumphed at the French and US Opens. After three group stage wins in Turin, Alcaraz secured the year-end No. 1 ranking; Sinner is second.
“To celebrate this trophy at the end of the year, especially after the last few months, there couldn’t be a better end to the season. It was a very tough and exciting match,” said Sinner.
Next up for Alcaraz is the Davis Cup Final 8 in Bologna, which starts on November 18. In the meantime, Sinner’s getting some rest as he won’t be competing there for Team Italy.
