ATP Finals: Jannik Sinner beats Carlos Alcaraz to defend title in Turin

Jannik Sinner signed off his 2025 season in style by overcoming world number one Carlos Alcaraz in two tight sets to defend his ATP Finals crown in Turin.

For the second consecutive year, the Italian captured the title without dropping a set throughout the tournament, winning 7-6 (7-4) 7-5 in the final, and is now unbeaten in 31 consecutive matches on indoor hard courts.

It is Sinner’s second victory in six finals against Spaniard Alcaraz this season and closes the gap in their head-to-head record to 10-6.

Although he missed out on the year-end number one ranking, this triumph caps off a successful year on court for Sinner, who won two Grand Slam titles and reached all four major finals.

He missed three months of the season to serve a doping ban but still collected six titles – the second-best haul of his career – after reaching the final in 10 of the 12 tournaments he entered.

This latest win extends his prolific record at the end-of-season showpiece, where he has not lost a match since being defeated by Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final.

Sinner becomes just the fourth player to successfully retain the men’s singles title this century, joining Lleyton Hewitt, Roger Federer and Djokovic.
