Tennis, Sinner is always the favorite in the ATP Finals, Alcaraz is chasing him – Il Tempo

(Adnkronos Salute) – The ATP Finals got underway quickly at the Inalpi Arena in Turin. Eight masters were involved in two groups, today the Connors Group ended with the challenge of Fritz-de Minaur and Alcaraz-Musetti, who on Sunday will crown the strongest of 2025. After being the first semifinalist of the tournament, Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, remains the favorite for a row: the blue, according to the Sisal experts, once again won in front of his fans played at 1.50. Sinner is also aiming for a third consecutive final: the last to do so was Nole Djokovic, who even reached five finals between 2012 and 2016.

The San Candido tennis player’s first rival is still Carlitos Alcaraz who is still looking for his first title at the ATP Finals in Turin. The Spaniard, a winner with a score of 2.75, wants to achieve what his idol Rafa Nadal never did: make his name in the final tournament of the year. In addition, Alcaraz has two other goals in Turin: to become the third Spaniard, after Orantes and Corretja, to achieve victory at the ATP Finals and to avenge his teacher, Juan Carlos Ferrero, who was beaten by Lleyton Hewitt in 2002.

Sacha Zverev, offered at the age of 20, will try to take on two modern tennis dominators. The Hamburg native is trying to take home his third title in the Final, after successes in 2018 and 2021: such a win would allow Sacha to join two legends such as John McEnroe and Boris Becker. Taylor Fritz, last year’s finalist, dreams of bringing back the trophy lost to the United States since 1999, when Pete Sampras beat Andre Agassi. The American company will pay 25 times its shares.
