Italy's Jannik Sinner defeated Spanish world number one Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4) 7-5 in the ATP Finals title decider on Sunday to retain his trophy in the season-ending championships.

Overall, Sinner is the third player ever—at any age—to reach the final at all four Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in a single season, after Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who both did it twice. Before Sinner, Federer was the youngest player ever to achieve the feat, when he did it for the first time as a 25-year-old in 2006.

Carlos Alcaraz shared that he prefers to win the Australian Open over retaining the French or U.S. Open titles.

Carlos Alcaraz would rather win his first Australian Open than retain his French Open and U.S. Open titles next year, the Spaniard said late on Friday, a day after sealing the year-end world number one ranking at the ATP Finals.

Jannik Sinner apologised to Carlos Alcaraz after a “lucky” moment in the ATP Finals helped the Italian to a successful defence of his year-end title in Turin. Sinner defeated Alcaraz 7-6 7-5 to become the first player in the tournament’s history to win it two years in a row without dropping a set.
