Jannik Sinner has already won two titles in 2025, saving his best tennis for the Grand Slam tournaments.

Kicking off 2025 where he left off in 2024, Sinner won the Australian Open in January, defeating Alexander Zverev in the final.

He then added another major title to his trophy cabinet at Wimbledon, when Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets.

Failing to win his third title of the season in New York, Sinner is now gearing up for a return to action in Beijing for the China Open.

Speaking before he heads over to Asia, Sinner has picked the tournament he wants to win the most before the end of the season.

“Now I’m leaving for Beijing, and there are still many important tournaments. Physically, I feel good; after the US Open, I was completely at peace. I’m ready to get back on track and make some changes to further improve as a player,” he said.

“The goal is Turin, to play well, and then we’ll see how things go.

“I’m happy to be back on the tennis court, because that’s where I feel alive.”

Sinner is one of two players to have already secured their spot in this year’s ATP Finals.

Live ATP Race to Turin

He’ll return to Turin as the heavy favorite to defend his title, having played some of the best tennis of his career at the ATP Finals over recent years.

How many matches has Jannik Sinner won at the ATP Finals?

Sinner has played 12 total matches at the ATP Finals and has only tasted defeat twice.

The Italian has won nine of his last ten matches at the event, picking up his first title in 2024, defeating Taylor Fritz in the final.

He’ll be the favorite to win his second title in 2025, but that’s not to say he won’t have competition.

Novak Djokovic, the record seven-time champion, was the last player to beat Sinner at the tour finals and has often played some of his best tennis at the event.

His participation at the event is a real question; however, having skipped the tournament in 2024 despite qualifying.

Then, of course, there is the threat of Alcaraz, who has dominated their head-to-head in recent times.

Germany’s Zverev could also be a contender, having won the ATP Finals twice previously, in 2018 and 2021.

Only time will tell who will emerge victorious, but you certainly won’t want to miss any of the action when the tournament begins on Sunday, November 9.
