\n Spaniard one victory from sealing the achievement
\n <\/p>\n
Carlos Alcaraz is on the doorstep of clinching ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours.<\/p>\n
If the Spaniard wins one more match at the Nitto ATP Finals, he will claim the achievement for the second time. He finished year-end No. 1 in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will try not to think about it,\u201d Alcaraz said after moving to 2-0 in Jimmy Connors Group action Tuesday in Turin. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a really big match for me. I will try not to let the nerves play a bad time in the match. I will think about my goals, about feeling much better than today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alcaraz is not out of luck if he loses his final round-robin match against home favourite Lorenzo Musetti. Even if the 22-year-old finishes the group with a 2-1 record, he will have a chance to guarantee himself year-end No. 1 if he qualifies for the semi-finals and wins that match.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard is trying to become just the 11th player to become ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF more than once.<\/p>\n
Sinner must win the Nitto ATP Finals as an undefeated champion to give himself a chance to earn his second consecutive year-end No. 1 finish. If the Italian loses one match \u2014 he next faces Alexander Zverev Wednesday \u2014 the battle will also be over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spaniard one victory from sealing the achievement Carlos Alcaraz is on the doorstep of clinching ATP Year-End…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-258172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
