Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner clash for the year-end title at the ATP Finals as the young rivals lock horns in another final and look to finish dominant seasons in style.
Alcaraz and Sinner will be meeting in their sixth final of a memorable season that has so far stages blockbuster matches at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, which Alcaraz won two months ago to determine their trilogy of grand slam showpieces.
Alcaraz has secured the year-end No 1 ranking for the first time since 2022 after what has been the most consistent season of the 22-year-old’s career. He is looking to win his first ATP Finals, as well as over $5m (£3.87m) in prize money.
Defending champion Sinner has won nine matches in a row at the ATP Finals without dropping a set amid a dominant run of form on indoor hard courts. The 24-year-old Italian will have the backing of his home fans in Turin as he seeks revenge for his US Open defeat.
Meanwhile, there was guaranteed to be a British winner in the doubles, and it went to Henry Patten and his Finish team-mate Harri Heliovaara as they defeated Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski 7-5 6-3 to crown an excellent season that also brought an Australian Open title.

*Carlos Alcaraz 5-5 Jannik Sinner
Sinner keeps his focus and serves out the game with an ace. Alcaraz did not look overly comfortable moving out to the wide serve, but the Spaniard still looks competitive in the rallies.
Carlos Alcaraz 5-4 Jannik Sinner*
Alcaraz jogs out back to the baseline and holds his hand up to Sinner, who is now serving to stay in the set.
Medical timeout! Carlos Alcaraz 5-4 Jannik Sinner*
Alcaraz has called the three-minute timeout and is getting his right leg rubbed down. He seemed to pull something during his last game.
Carlos Alcaraz 5-4 Jannik Sinner*
Sinner leans into a forehand winner down the line to get to 30-30, but Alcaraz then snaps a forehand cross on a tight angle. And that’s three winners in a row as Alcaraz rolls into a forehand winner down the line.
Oh but Alcaraz has called the trainer and is receiving treatment on his leg!
*Carlos Alcaraz 4-4 Jannik Sinner
Anything you can do… Sinner follows in a wide serve but doesn’t quite connect with the volley. It lands in, and he holds his hand up to Alcaraz in apology.
Carlos Alcaraz 4-3 Jannik Sinner*
Nicely done from Alcaraz to close the game with a serve and volley. Sinner had flashed a lovely backhand winner down the line but Alcaraz withstood him, and the crowd, to edge back in front.
*Carlos Alcaraz 3-3 Jannik Sinner
Awesome from Sinner and this is bubbling up nicely. Sensational forehand direction as he goes behind Alcaraz to get to 30-15, then powers one down the line to clinch the game.
Carlos Alcaraz 3-2 Jannik Sinner*
Wonderful from Alcaraz. He is dragged into a deuce game of his own, with both players looking for some rhythm after the stoppage.
But after a baseline rally, Alcaraz guides a lovely backhand winner down the line – then roars as Sinner goes long.
