In 2025, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner faced each other six times, and always in the final. Their series began in Rome in May, before continuing at Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, Cincinnati, the US Open, and then the ATP Finals.
Such a total undoubtedly marks a page in tennis history, even if it does not constitute an absolute record in the Open Era.

Three duos have already done better by contesting seven finals in the same season: Rod Laver vs. Ken Rosewall in 1968, Rod Laver vs. Tony Roche in 1969, and then Novak Djokovic vs. Roger Federer in 2015.
It remains to be seen whether, at the rate they are going and dominating the tour, the two champions will manage to equal this record in 2026.
