Jannik Sinner is the ATP Finals champion once again after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
In front of a home crowd in Turin, the Italian clinched back-to-back year-end crowns by beating his rival in straight sets, 7-6, 7-5.
Sinner won the ATP Finals without dropping a set and conceded just one break of serve throughout the tournament, which came in the second set against Alcaraz.
The championship marks his 24th career tour-level title, and sixth of 2025, in what has been a remarkable season.
Following his triumph over the Spaniard, tennis legend Jim Courier said Sinner is operating at an ‘absurd’ level.

Speaking on Tennis Channel, Courier said: “It’s just remarkable at what he’s doing. And just to underscore, when you’re playing this tournament, that’s 10 consecutive wins in this tournament against top eight players.
“I mean, it’s just absurd the level that he’s been bringing, without dropping a set.
Will Alex de Minaur ever crack the ATP top five?
“It’s amazing, and he’s gonna finish the year feeling awfully good about himself. And I think this match was a real tipping point for how that he would view his off season.
“He will now, I would expect, feel good about the changes in all the work that they’ve been making, although the serve didn’t behave today the way it has been behaving otherwise this fall, but he gets to put his head on the pillow and go, All right, I got him in a match and it meant a lot.”

With his victory, Sinner is now the fourth youngest player since the inception of the ATP Finals to win the tournament in consecutive years.
At just 24 years and 85 days of age, he has completed the feat older than only Roger Federer, Ivan Lendl and Lleyton Hewitt.
Federer managed it at 23 in 2003 and 2004, Lendl did it at 22 in 1981 and 1982, and Hewitt was the youngest in history to win twice in a row at 21 years of age in 2001 and 2002.
Sinner will now begin to rest and recover in the off-season, before setting his sights on the beginning of his 2026 campaign.
