Alcaraz and Sabalenka finish season as champions
Carlos Alcaraz is the year-end world number one on the ATP side! After winning all three of his group stage matches, the Spaniard secured the year-end world number one rating, surpassing Jannik Sinner in the position. Alcaraz has had a fantastic season, winning eight titles, including two Grand Slam titles, and ending the year as the top-ranked player in the world. Sinner did, however, get his retribution when he prevented Alcaraz from winning the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time in his career, extending the Italian's winning run to 31 games on indoor hard courts.
Other noteworthy ranking increases include Felix Auger-Aliassime, a Canadian who moved up three spots to the world's top five after making it to the semi-finals. However, Lorenzo Musetti moved up one spot to eighth in the global rankings after his lone victory at the Nitto ATP Finals. Novak Djokovic finished the season as the fourth-ranked player in the world thanks to a victory in Athens, while Alexander Bublik finished the year as the eleventh-ranked Kazakh. The American also moved up ten spots to number 28 in the global rankings after a final for Learner Tien in Metz.
Taylor Fritz is now ranked sixth in the world after failing to defend his final points from the Nitto ATP Finals. Ben Shelton has also fallen four spots to ninth in the global rankings after failing to win a match in Turin, even though he qualified for his first Nitto ATP Finals. Casper Ruud fell two spots to 12th in the world rankings after failing to make it to the Nitto ATP Finals.
Despite concluding his season early, Jack Draper ended the season among the top 10 in the British rankings. Cameron Norrie, who finished the year as the 27th-ranked player in the world, will be seeded for the Australian Open next year. After a somewhat optimistic season in his first full year on the main circuit, Jacob Fearnley will finish the season slightly outside the world's top 70.

Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) has 12,050 points.

WTA Rankings and the Top 10 Brits
Aryna Sabalenka is the year-end world number one on the WTA side! Iga Swiatek was unable to take advantage of Sabalenka's patchy play, which clinched the victory before the WTA Finals. With several final appearances and consistent WTA championships, the US Open winner has had a tremendous season and is deserving of her top ranking in the world.
Sabalenka fell to Elena Rybakina in the WTA Finals final, though, thus her season did not end well. Throughout the week, the Kazakh was perfect, outplaying her opponents and serving a barrage of aces. Rybakina has had an incredible late-season run, winning all five of her matches to earn $5 million in prize money and moving up to the fifth spot in the global rankings as a result.
Other notable ranking changes include Jasmine Paolini dropping two spots to eighth place and Jessica Pegula dropping one spot to sixth place. Belinda Bencic's late-season push on the WTA circuit has propelled the Swiss to number eleven in the world, while Linda Noskova's successful Asia swing has propelled her up four spots to number thirteen. Qinwen Zheng, who is currently ranked 24th in the world, has also dropped 13 spots in the standings.
With the British number one ranked 29th in the world, Emma Raducanu is expected to receive a seeding in the Australian Open. At number 71 in the world, Sonay Kartal is now the second-ranked British person, while at number 77, Francesca Jones is the third-ranked British person. This resulted from Katie Boulter's recent poor performance, which sent her crashing down the world rankings to 100.

CARLOS ALCARAZ STUNNED FANS WITH REMARK ABOUT JANNIK SINNER
Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner for the ATP Finals title is a fitting 2025 finale. Despite leading their rivalry, Alcaraz admits the indoor specialist Sinner, unbeaten in 30 indoor matches, is the favourite in Turin.

World Nos. 1 and 2 Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will square off in the title match at the ATP Finals in Turin on Sunday, marking a fitting end to the 2025 ATP season. All six of their meetings this season have taken place in the finals. Alcaraz secured the year-end No. 1 ranking by winning five of them, and he has already defeated Sinner this week.
Even though he "does not want to accept it," the Spanish great has suddenly admitted that Sinner is the favourite to win their ATP Finals. Sinner has a lot going for him because he has gone 30 games without losing on indoor hard courts. He has won his last 14 matches and has not lost a set in Turin since 2023.
Alcaraz is well aware of Sinner's statistics, even though he is less at ease on indoor hard courts. The six-time Major winner thinks Sinner has a good chance on Sunday, although he won their fight for the year-end No. 1 ranking.
Who is the favourite? After securing his place in his first ATP Finals final, Alcaraz grinned and remarked, "I mean, the No. 1 signifies that I have been playing really excellent throughout the season, on all surfaces."
On an indoor court, he is performing at his peak. We are performing for his home audience. He is the favourite, in my opinion. Even though I do not like to admit it, I think he is the favourite for tomorrow.
Although Alcaraz and Sinner have never met in person at the ATP Finals, they did play a practice match before the competition, with the world No. 2 winning handily. Alcaraz is aware that meeting in front of the Italian audience will make everything much more difficult.
"He beat me 6-3 quite easily, to be honest," the world No. 1 continued. It is a very different experience from attending a sporting event. I stated that one of the greatest or most challenging challenges in tennis at the moment is playing against Jannik on an indoor court.
"I believe he has won 30 and 31 straight indoor court matches. We are performing for his home audience. Playing against him becomes even more challenging as a result.
Alcaraz is 5-1 this season and has a 10-5 record against Sinner. The Spanish player defeated Sinner at the US Open, French Open, Italian Open, and Cincinnati Open, but his only defeat occurred in the Wimbledon final. Illness caused Sinner to retire 23 minutes into the Cincinnati final.
Last month, the world No. 2 defeated Alcaraz in the Six Kings Slam exhibition final, an unofficial contest played on indoor hard courts. Since then, Sinner has won consecutive titles in Paris and Vienna.
CARLOS ALCARAZ AND JANNIK SINNER SET FOR EPIC ATP FINALS

The two greatest tennis players, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, advanced to the final of the ATP Finals on November 15 and will now compete for the title.
After a string of exciting matches between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alcaraz this year, the former defending world number one easily defeated the latter 6-2, 6-4 in Turin to set up the championship showdown that tennis fans had been waiting for.
The Spaniard has won four of the five encounters this season, all of which have taken place in the championship game, and has defeated Sinner 10–5.
After rallying from a two-set deficit and saving three match chances, Alcaraz won the US Open and Roland Garros finals.
Sinner, however, defeated Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2 earlier on November 15 to become the first Italian to win Wimbledon. The two have split the four Grand Slams this year.
It will be somewhat challenging. On the court, Alcaraz declared, "I think we increase our level to the top every time we encounter each other. The level we could play is very, really high."
Alcaraz's victory over Sinner in the men's rankings at the conclusion of 2025 and his participation in his 11th final of the season in front of a partisan Italian audience add further intrigue to the Nov. 16 final.
Alcaraz remarked, "Well, I expect at least three or four people in the crowd cheering for me."
"I will attempt to be really, really focused on my game and the things that I have to do, even if the crowd will undoubtedly be cheering for him."
Despite being an indoor specialist who has won seven of his eight titles on indoor courts, Canada's Auger-Aliassime was unable to stop Alcaraz, who took control of the match with a superb hooked volley in game four of the first set.
With another break of service, Alcaraz easily took a one-set lead. He then won the match with little effort and without resorting to his best tennis.
Sinner has not lost a service game yet, but Alcaraz will be a far harder test for him after the second seed defeated De Minaur for the 13th time in a row.
To be honest, each game (against Alcaraz) is unique. Even on the same surface (clay), it can shift, as we witnessed in Rome and Paris," Sinner remarked.
Another final, I have had a fantastic year. I am eagerly anticipating tomorrow. Additionally, it will help me determine my true level, but it is also a nice matchup to have before the off-season.
The four-time Grand Slam champion is on a 30-match winning streak on indoor hard courts, and Sinner has won his previous 18 sets in Turin.
The 24-year-old has not lost a set at the ATP Finals since he fell to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final. De Minaur finishes the year feeling happier than he did after losing to Lorenzo Musetti in the group stage.
De Minaur mentioned that he had been in a “dark place” after that loss, which almost cost him a spot in the last four. He beat Taylor Fritz to set up the November 15 match against Sinner.
"I experienced a slight change in viewpoint. As I sit here now, I feel I should have won two games instead of one to end my Turin campaign," De Minaur told reporters.
In Sinner's first service game, De Minaur created three break points but could not convert any of them after saving two in the opening game of the semi-final.
When Sinner threatened to break in the seventh and ninth games, the Australian fought back again. However, the second seed ultimately struck the decisive blow at 5-5 and won the opening set.
Sinner became the youngest player to reach three finals at the season-ending event since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004 after jumping to a 4-0 lead in the second set and winning his eighth consecutive tournament title.
