Jannik Sinner wins second consecutive ATP Masters title by dominating rival Carlos Alcaraz in final

Often dominated by the Spaniard in recent months, the Italian won in two sets at the end of a contested meeting in Turin on Sunday.

The title holder defended his throne. Jannik Sinner won the ATP Masters by beating his great rival Carlos Alcaraz in the final, Sunday November 16. In front of his home crowd in Turin, the world No. 2 showed himself to be the strongest and most relevant in his playing patterns under pressure. He won in two sets (7-6(4), 7-5) and 2h15 of play to win the masters tournament. Above all, the Italian reminds us that the standoff exists more than ever with the Spaniard, he who had lost seven of the last eight confrontations.

If this clash will not remain as the most memorable of their emerging rivalry, “It means a lot to end the season like this” recognized Sinner at the microphone of Eurosport, who finished the year number 2 in the world. He emerged victorious from a close duel from start to finish thanks to tactical and physical superiority – Alcaraz called a medical timeout at the end of the first round. The Italian erased a set point from his opponent on his own put in play at 5-6 in a first set which saw the two players not letting anything go in the service, before winning in the tie-break with a very high level of play (7-4).

Unlike Carlos Alcaraz, sanctioned several times because of risky tactical choices, Jannik Sinner remained constant. He did not panic when the Spaniard broke him at the start of the second round, something he had not yet experienced since the start of this Masters. After a break at 3-3, it was at 6-5 in his favor that he pushed the world No. 1 to make a mistake, finally exulting. He ends the season with a sixth title, adding to his coronations at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, Paris, Beijing and Vienna.
