The four-time Grand Slam champion saved a set point in the opener and overturned a break in the second set, to emerge victorious 7-6(4) 7-5 in just over two hours.

The power and precision of the ATP&rsquo;s finest next-gen superstars was on full display at the Inalpi Arena in Turin. Despite multiple interruptions due to a member of the crowd falling ill and Alcaraz suffering from a hamstring niggle, the quality did not drop. Sinner managed to hang on under pressure, and eventually took the set in a tiebreaker.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wow &#128563; <br><br>Sunday&rsquo;s ATP Finals match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz was the most-watched tennis match in Italian TV HISTORY! &#128079;<br><br>Over 6,789,000 viewers tuned in! &#127470;&#127481; <br><br>&#128483;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XZUuDZLyH0\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/XZUuDZLyH0<\/a><br>&#128248; Getty <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4X1U3LXYqN\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/4X1U3LXYqN<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Olly Tennis &#127934; &#127468;&#127463; (@Olly_Tennis_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Olly_Tennis_\/status\/1990381861416374640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><em>&ldquo;I thought at the beginning of the match that I could beat him, that I could compete against him here,&rdquo; <\/em>Alcaraz declared after the encounter.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
