Alcaraz ATP Finals Sinner

At the Masters, the final duel between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz went in favor of the Italian, who won 7-6, 7-5, thus retaining his title in Turin without conceding a single set.

The two players delighted the audience with exchanges of remarkable intensity, particularly during this crucial point in the first-set tie-break. Sinner, already with a mini-break in hand, led 5-4 with two serves to follow. Alcaraz was staying in touch, but the ensuing rally would give the world No. 2 the chance to open up a definitive gap.

Sinner first took the upper hand by launching a cross-court backhand attack, immediately countered by a forehand slice from Alcaraz that landed perfectly back in the court.

The pace accelerated and the Spaniard took advantage of an opening to approach the net on a forehand attack, but his backhand volley lacked bite. Sinner, alert, seized the opportunity to surprise him with a perfectly measured lob.

A sumptuous point that would give him a set point, which he calmly converted moments later.
