Carlos Alcaraz landed in Turin with some uncertainties, but eager to find the best feelings on the indoor courts of the ATP Finals 2025 to try to go as far as possible. His early defeat at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025 allowed Jannik Sinner to regain the number one spot in the ATP Ranking.
Despite that unexpected result in the French capital, Carlos Alcaraz remains one of the top candidates for the trophy at these ATP Finals 2025 where he could once again take the world number one position from Jannik Sinner, who will seek to defend the title.
Carlos Alcaraz clarifies his physical discomfort
"I'm feeling much better and freer in my movements on the court every time. I'll play with caution. I used to play with bandages before, but it restricted my movements a lot. Now we're removing more layers so that the ankle gains strength and stability. I'm getting better at moving around and already sliding with my left leg, which indicates that I am looser and more confident," Alcaraz explained about those ankle problems, as reported by Marca.
These discomforts first arose during the first round match of the ATP Tokyo 2025 tournament, and although the Murcian player managed to win the event, these issues forced him to withdraw from the Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025. According to Carlos himself, the situation is improving, but they will continue to monitor this area of the body closely.
Alcaraz and his training with Jannik Sinner at ATP Finals 2025
"We talked in Paris about training here, why not? We already know each other well," Alcaraz explained as reported by As. "It's a privilege to train with him, it's one of the aspects that make this tournament unique. There are eight players, the best, and you can train with them. It's not my case, but some players, upon seeing the group, don't want to train with those they will face later. For me, it's a great opportunity to train with Jannik. It's not the first time, and surely won't be the last; we won't get any information as we know each other more than enough, but we give each other rhythm to start off well."

Carlos Alcaraz, on his defeat in Paris
"There can be bad days, but above all, it happened because the way I tactically approached the match was completely wrong. I didn't have good feelings, I went for the shots, forward, with first shot mistakes. The good thing about that is that it gave me the feedback to know what I had to train, and I am implementing it these days to start well. I'm not worried about that, and we'll try to ensure it doesn't happen again."
