Jannik Sinner said it was “on me” to add variety after his US Open loss to Carlos Alcaraz
Sinner was as good as his word in Turin. He had just the right wrinkles—a big 2nd serve here, a topspin lob there—to surprise Alcaraz and win their 2025 finale www.tennis.com/news/article...

#Sinner on clutch points was solid, especially his serves (1st set) and & down-the-line accelerations throughout the match.
Shame that #Alcaraz was hampered by his leg, even with that, it was the best tennis of #ATPFinals
Again: these two guys are in another universe compared to the rest.

Lovely ovation for Alcaraz as runner up, and a gracious runner up speech.

Crush and rush by Carlos, but he can’t make the BH volley. Ad Jannik.

Alcaraz is now trying to shorten the points. 40-30.

Well played, Jannik. He holds for 6-5*. TennisTV commentators are seeing very negative emotions from Alcaraz at the changeover. I think his inability to trust his body at absolute full extension is a factor in this match.

Point! 30-15. Sinner has some quite good wheels.

Two holds, 5-4* Jannik on serve. Alcaraz misses a difficult angled high BH volley, then remonstrates to himself and his team that the passing shot by Jannik would have landed somewhere in Milan.

Sinner holds, consolidating the break back to lead 4-3* on serve. Alcaraz had a BP but sent a FH just long in good position.

Sinner breaks courtesy of a completely shanked FH return and a FH DS that Alcaraz doesn’t sprint towards. 3-3.

Well played, Carlos. 30-15. He held the second FH and shaped to go I-O, but went hard I-I.

Two holds, 3*-2 Carlos with a break. A feature of ATP tennis at this level is that both players can be pulled out of position but are able to get back to neutral with one shot. It isn’t flashy, but it’s elite.

That Sinner DS at 30-15 is one indication that Alcaraz isn’t going to push his right leg to the max.

Heavy tape going around Carlos’s right thigh during the set break. No issues that I saw with his movement in the TB.
