Sinner moves within 50 points of Alcaraz in Live Race after Miami title

Three months into the 2026 season and just 50 points separate Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin.

Alcaraz began the year with title runs at the Australian Open and at the ATP 500 in Doha, building a 16-match winning streak that ended in the Indian Wells semi-finals. Sinner has since caught momentum, triumphing in Indian Wells and Miami to complete the 'Sunshine Double', hauling himself close to parity with his great rival in the Live Race.

It is still early in the season, but Alcaraz and Sinner are once again in control of the battle for ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF, for which the Live Race is a good barometer. No other player is within 1,000 points of the pair, with third-placed Daniil Medvedev currently 1,200 points behind Sinner.

While Alcaraz and Sinner spearhead the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, Arthur Fils and Jiri Lehecka earned career milestones in Miami to continue their pursuit of a maiden qualification for the Nitto ATP Finals.

Fils, 21, reached his biggest ATP Tour semi-final in south Florida, helping him rise to eighth in the Live Race. The Frenchman was also a finalist in Doha and a quarter-finalist in Indian Wells.

Lehecka has surged 54 places to 10th following his first ATP Masters 1000 final appearance. The Czech arrived in Miami with a modest 6-5 season record, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, yet found his best form at the hard-court event, where he went unbroken until the championship match against Sinner. Lehecka was a quarter-finalist at the ATP 500 events in Doha and Dubai.

German Alexander Zverev, a semi-finalist in both Indian Wells and Miami, leapfrogged 101-time tour-level titlist Novak Djokovic for fourth. Alex de Minaur and Ben Shelton, both former competitors in Turin, are also currently in the top eight.

The Nitto ATP Finals will be held from 15-22 November at Inalpi Arena in Turin. The home favourite Sinner has won the season finale for two consecutive years. Last season, he beat Alcaraz in the final to improve to 6-10 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry with the Spaniard.
