Alcaraz and Sinner Set for Thrilling ATP Finals Showdown

TURIN, Italy — The 2025 ATP Finals will culminate on Sunday with a highly anticipated final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Both players have dominated the tennis scene this year, each vying for another prestigious title.

Alcaraz, the world’s top-ranked player, secured his spot in the final after defeating Félix Auger-Aliassime 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals. Sinner, the number two player, advanced with a 7-5, 6-2 victory over Alex de Minaur, thrilling the home crowd in Turin.

“I expect at least three to four people in the crowd cheering for me,” Alcaraz joked. “It’s going to be really difficult. I’m just really happy to see Jannik in another final. Every time we face each other in a final, we raise our level to the top.”

This final marks Alcaraz’s debut in the ATP Finals, despite previously withdrawing in 2022 due to injury and being eliminated in the group stage last year. Sinner, on the other hand, is seeking his second consecutive trophy at this event and has not lost a set at the ATP Finals since last year’s championship match.

<p“Making three consecutive finals in Turin means a lot to me,” Sinner said. “It’s a great atmosphere and a great place for me to play tennis.”

Throughout their encounters this year, Alcaraz and Sinner have faced each other six times, including three Grand Slam finals. Alcaraz leads their head-to-head record 10-5. Their intense rivalry has featured significant matches at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

With a flawless round-robin record in this tournament and a chance to claim his ninth title of the year, Alcaraz is poised to finish the season strong. Sinner, having secured his 31st consecutive indoor match win, will look to halt Alcaraz’s momentum.

<p“This matchup is exciting,” Sinner added. “It’s great before the offseason to see where my level really is.”

As both players prepare for battle, fans can expect another high-stakes encounter that showcases the talent and determination of these two stars of men’s tennis.
