Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz to defend his ATP Finals title in Turin and extend his imperious indoor hard-court winning run to a 31st match.
The young rivals were meeting in their sixth final of the season and Sinner claimed just his second win over Alcaraz in that spell to avenge his defeat in the US Open final two months ago.
After a tight first set, delayed by 11 minutes due to a medical emergency in the crowd, Sinner raised his level to take the decider. Alcaraz received strapping on a right hamstring injury but broke Sinner’s serve for the first time this week in the opening game of the second set.
Sinner broke back thanks to a fortuitous return and finished the match in dominant fashion, ensuring he has now won two ATP Finals in a row without dropping a single set. The 24-year-old Italian also becomes the youngest player to win back-to-back ATP Finals crowns since Roger Federer in 2004.
And after a season where Sinner won the Australian Open and Wimbledon and Alcaraz won Roland Garros and the US Open, the Spaniard warned: “It's time to rest, hope you're gonna be ready for next year because I will be ready for more finals against you!”
