The 2025 tennis season is set for a spectacular finale as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz prepare to meet in the championship match of the ATP Finals. The two top-ranked players delivered commanding semi-final performances in Turin to create yet another chapter in what has become tennis’s defining modern rivalry.
Sinner continued his remarkable form on indoor hard courts with a confident 7-5, 6-2 win over Alex de Minaur. Although the Australian pushed him early, matching his aggression and defending brilliantly, Sinner’s power and precision eventually broke the resistance. De Minaur saved multiple break points in a tight opening set, but once Sinner secured it, the match swiftly shifted in his favour. The Italian’s dominance indoors now includes 30 consecutive wins and 18 straight sets at the ATP Finals.
The victory sends Sinner into the final of the season-ending event for the third year in a row, a run that underlines his consistency at the highest level. Despite serving a three-month suspension earlier in the year, he has produced one of the strongest seasons of his career, reaching 10 finals and hunting his sixth title of 2025.
Later in the evening, Alcaraz delivered a clinical 6-2, 6-4 victory over Félix Auger-Aliassime to book his first-ever ATP Finals final. The Spaniard controlled the match with aggressive baseline play, sharp returning, and an unshakeable mentality. His run in Turin has already secured him the year-end world No 1 ranking after a flawless 3-0 performance in the round-robin stage.
Alcaraz enters the title match aiming for a stunning ninth trophy of a season that has showcased his growth, consistency, and explosive athleticism. His rivalry with Sinner has shaped the year: the two have split the four Grand Slam titles, and at least one of them has won every tournament they jointly contested since mid-2024.
Their head-to-head in 2025 has tilted heavily in Alcaraz’s favour, with the Spaniard winning seven of their last eight meetings and holding a 10-5 overall lead. Sinner, however, arrives with unrivalled indoor confidence and the backing of an enthusiastic home crowd.
With both superstars at the peak of their powers, the final promises a fitting end to a season dominated by their compelling battle for supremacy.
