"I can't wait to show a high level of tennis," says Sinner ahead of the ATP Finals

One of the stakes of this end of the 2025 season is to determine whether Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz will finish the season as the world number one.

Jannik Sinner will indeed be in Turin to defend his title at the ATP Finals. Crowned last year against Taylor Fritz, the Italian player is still in a battle with Carlos Alcaraz to finish the year in the top spot, which this year's Wimbledon winner occupies again this week after his title at the Paris Masters 1000.

In a press conference before his start in the tournament, the 24-year-old player was asked about this famous long-distance duel with Alcaraz for the throne of world tennis.

"Carlos's (Alcaraz) early loss in Paris gave me the opportunity to return to the world number one spot. Now, here in Turin, there are several possible scenarios, and I know them.

Regardless, I experienced fantastic moments last year winning the trophy and it's something I would like to relive, no matter what my ranking is at the end of the year.

I can't wait to show a high level of tennis, as I have done in recent months and recent weeks. One of the keys to playing good tennis is to be as free as possible, and that's what I try to do," Sinner stated in the press conference ahead of the ATP Finals.
