Jannik Sinner captured his second consecutive ATP Finals title on Sunday, defeating world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 7–6(4), 7–5 in Turin. The Italian’s composed performance under pressure earned him a week-long undefeated run and a roaring reception from the home crowd.
“Winning here again means a lot. The support from the fans was incredible, and I’m proud of how I stayed focused throughout the week,” Sinner said after the match.
Alcaraz, who struggled with a thigh injury sustained during a late semifinal the previous day, showed flashes of brilliance, including a delicate drop shot that nearly turned the first set. “It was tough physically, but I tried to give my best. Sinner played an amazing match,” Alcaraz acknowledged.
