Sinner, who had lost to Novak Djokovic in the previous season, won his first ATP Finals in Italy in front of his own fans. He defeated Taylor Fritz in the final match to end a dominant year. This time, Sinner will face competition from a refreshed Alcaraz, who will be motivated to win his first ATP Finals after the Spaniard was knocked out in the group stages of last year’s event. Sinner’s World No. 1 ranking is also on the line, after he won the Paris Masters and reclaimed top spot from Alcaraz. He will be looking to close the gap with the year-end ranking. Alcaraz will be joined by Alexander Zverev as well as Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz. Alex de Minaur is also joining Alcaraz.

How Sinner can reclaim World No 1Sinner needs to win the ATP Finals to have any chance of catching Alcaraz and even then, as outlined above, it’s not in the Italian’s hands.A defeat for Sinner during the round-robin would also increase Alcaraz’s chances of finishing top. Sinner losing one match would only require Alcaraz to win two; if he were to lose two matches, Alcaraz could win with just one.
