Sinner and Alcaraz Chase Year-End Top Spot in ATP Finals

Jannik Sinner seeks to defend year-end No. 1 while Carlos Alcaraz can overtake him with early wins or a finals run, with $5 million and 1,500 points at stake.

  • On Nov. 9, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz begin the ATP Finals in Turin, with the Nov. 9-16 event set to decide the year-end world number one as Sinner needs a flawless run while Alcaraz can leapfrog him.
  • The season's context shows the pair splitting the four Grand Slams and meeting in three finals, with Alcaraz reclaiming the top spot at the U.S. Open but Sinner climbing back after a Paris Masters exit.
  • The $15.5-million ATP Finals features round-robin groups, the best eight doubles teams, and an unbeaten singles champion could earn over $5 million and 1,500 points, Sinner said, `But at the same time, if he plays really well there's no chance, it doesn't matter what my result is.`
  • Home support for Sinner may shape the atmosphere in Turin, where Lorenzo Musetti can book his Finals spot by beating Novak Djokovic, who will decide participation after Saturday.
  • Beyond the court, player-Slam tensions persist as top ATP and WTA players ask the Grand Slams for more revenue and welfare support, while Jannik Sinner's 2025 season included a three-month ban and debate over his South Tyrol and Monaco ties.
