Alcaraz 6-7 (4-7) 5-7 Sinner
Sinner won’t be playing Davis Cup for Italy in the coming week, having opted out, so his focus will soon switch to the 2026 season.
For now, he is ready to heartily celebrate a gutsy win over his greatest rival.
“It represents not only tennis. We’re individual athletes, but without a team this is not possible,” he said on Sky Sports.
“Celebrating this trophy at the end of the year after an intense last couple of months, there’s no better ending for me.
“It was a close match-up. [Alcaraz had] set point in the first set. I’m happy with how I handled the situation and it means the world to me.
“Playing against Carlos you have to play your best. He is one of the best returners if not the best returner in the game. I’m very happy. It means a lot to me to end the season like this – it’s amazing.”
