The final installment of the “Sincaraz” rivalry for 2025 went to Jannik Sinner. The second-ranked Sinner beat top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (4), 7-5 for the ATP Finals trophy in the sixth meeting this year between the two players who are dominating men's tennis. Sinner defended the title before his home Italian fans for only his second victory over Alcaraz this year after also beating the Spaniard in the Wimbledon final. “It was an incredible season,” Sinner said. “To finish it this way, before my Italian fans, is very special for me.” Alcaraz had already secured the year-ending No. 1 ranking and was contesting his first final at the event for the year's top eight players. Alcaraz still leads his career meetings with Sinner, 10-6.
