Carlos Alcaraz has achieved the goal of finishing as number 1 in the ATP ranking this season, but losing the final of the ATP Finals 2025 causes the gap with Jannik Sinner to be very narrow. The Italian has finished just 550 points behind the player from Murcia, who will have to work hard in the first quarter of the year to stay at the top.

While it is true that Carlos Alcaraz is guaranteed to finish the year as the number 1 in the ATP rankings, the distance by which he leads Jannik Sinner could decisively influence how long the Spaniard remains at the top of the ranking. If Alcaraz wins the 2025 ATP Finals, he would establish a difference of 1,550 points over Sinner. If the Italian wins, there would only be 550 points between them, making it very likely that in the first quarter of 2026, Jannik could reclaim the top spot on the list.

A major mystery to solve and one that holds significant symbolic meaning. This is how the ongoing battle in the ATP Finals 2025 to secure a spot in the top-5 of the ATP ranking can be defined. With the top four positions already decided, the question remains as to which player will claim the fifth position. Currently, Taylor Fritz is set to be the one to achieve this honor, despite having the same points as Álex de Miñaur. The Australian would surpass him by defeating Sinner in the semifinals. Additionally, Ben Shelton could join the fight if he defeats Jannik this Friday, while Félix Auger-Aliassime needs a win against Zverev to keep his hopes alive.

A glorious year that is reaffirmed by the points in his ATP ranking. This is how Carlos Alcaraz's season in 2025, where he is making history, can be defined. So far, he has become the fifth player to surpass 12,000 points at the end of the season in the rankings since the current scoring system was established in 1990. Previously, only the Big 4 (or if you prefer, the Big 3 + Murray) achieved this. If he wins the ATP Finals 2025, he would equal the ninth-best mark of all time at the end of a season.
It's a huge achievement for #Alcaraz!

The ATP ranking determines which 30 players will be entitled to a series of privileges throughout 2026, but also to face obligations that, if not met, entail sanctions. We explain it in detail.
Iga Swiatek has decided to extend her season by one more week to answer her country's call and compete in the Billie-Jean King Cup 2025 playoff. The aim is for Poland to emerge victorious from the triangular with Romania and New Zealand, in order to secure a spot for the Qualifiers next year. If Swiatek wins both her individual matches, she will finish the year as the player with the most matches won, with 64, surpassing Sabalenka's 63.
