Nothing else is possible!
That is, too ATP Finals in Turin enjoy their super final! Carlos Alcaraz (22) and Sinner Jannik (24). Number 1 against number 2 in the world, Duel in the tennis arena! The two faced each other for the 16th time.
Jannik Sinner won two Grand Slam titles this year, in Melbourne and Wimbledon
In the semifinals, Sinner won against Australian Alex de Minaur (26) 7:5, 6:2, Alcaraz beat conquerors Alexander Zverev (28), Felix Auger-Aliassime (25/Canada), 6:2, 6:4 and thus reached the final of the World Cup for the first time. And that with incredible performance, especially in the first set, and with an incredible forehand: 180 km/h!
They both contested three Grand Slam finals against each other this year. Spaniards won in Paris and New York and Italians won at Wimbledon. In 2025 it will be the sixth final against each other. In addition to his major, Alcaraz also earned Master’s degrees in Rome and Cincinnati.
In general, South Tyrolean Alcaraz seems to be right. He has won seven of the last eight meetings. Just not at Wimbledon. Small consolation: Alcaraz has already won twice (2023, 2024).
But be careful: Sinner is undefeated in 30 straight games on hard courts in the hall. So it’s going to be a fun Sunday night. The Italian coach is also the defending champion. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has never been able to win the ATP Finals.
Carlos Alcaraz ended the year as number 1, although he lost in the final
Sinner: “I’m really looking forward to the final. This is the match I’m looking forward to. I always look forward to matches like this. Of course I feel comfortable on the indoor hard court.” He’ll have to show that if he wants to improve his record against Alcaraz. He was 5:10 behind against him.
This will be the seventh match in a row where they will face each other in the final. Alcaraz: “It was great to see Jannik again and to meet him in another final. It was also great to see this final for the fans.”
