Carlos Alcaraz year‑end No. 1
So there we have it: Carlos Alcaraz has done it again. The 22‑year‑old Spaniard sealed the coveted year‑end No. 1 ranking at the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin with a decisive 6‑4, 6‑1 win over Lorenzo Musetti. His perfect 3‑0 group stage run underlines the dominating season he’s just had — and he belongs in this “big‑boy club” of multiple year‑end No. 1s alongside legends.
What’s fun: Alcaraz didn’t just win—he did so calmly, with style and swagger, making heavy under‑pressure moments look like a Sunday rally. He said: “The match was really important for me, playing for Year‑End No.1… I tried to handle that pressure the best I could, so I’m just really happy…”
In short: Alcaraz isn’t just the man of the moment; he’s reminding everyone he’s the man of the season.
Securing No. 1 at year‑end for Alcaraz
If you’re in the mood for stats, Alcaraz becoming year‑end No. 1 marks his second time earning that honour. That puts him among elite company — anyone who doubts his status now needs new glasses.

With him topping the group, his semi‑final path is now clear, and his momentum is scary.
