Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz finished 2025 as year-end No.1 with Jannik Sinner No.2 after the pair split the four Grand Slams and met in multiple major finals.
- Sinner was voted ATP Fans’ Favourite for a third straight season, joining Roger Federer as a multiple-time honoree of the award.
- Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport named Lorenzo Musetti Sportsman of the Year ahead of Sinner following Musetti’s top-10 breakthrough and Finals debut.
- Tennis365’s breakdown estimates Sinner’s three‑month clostebol suspension cost him about $5 million in lost prize and ATP Bonus Pool eligibility, on top of missed Masters opportunities.
- Players and analysts challenged the idea of an unassailable duopoly: Frances Tiafoe called the tour “open,” Ben Shelton expressed optimism for U.S. breakthroughs, Jo‑Wilfried Tsonga labeled the era weaker, and Cameron Norrie said he still backs Alcaraz.
