Alcaraz claims year-end No. 1; Sinner shines & #NextGenATP stars surge

The ATP today published the 2025 year-end PIF ATP Rankings on ATPTour.com with Carlos Alcaraz finishing as ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF.

The Spaniard enjoyed a back-and-forth battle with Jannik Sinner for top spot throughout the season before ultimately securing his second year-end No. 1 honour (also 2022).

At just 22 years old, Alcaraz has now held World No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings for 46 weeks, more than 15 other members of the prestigious ATP No. 1 Club. He recaptured the position from Sinner after winning the US Open and, with the exception of one week, has held it since.

Alcaraz is just the second active player to secure multiple year-end No. 1 finishes, joining Novak Djokovic (8). The Murcia native won eight titles to lead the ATP Tour. It was the most he has claimed in a season in his career.

Alcaraz showed great consistency, during one stretch reaching nine consecutive finals. He emerged victorious at two majors (Roland Garros and US Open), three ATP Masters 1000 events (Monte-Carlo, Rome and Cincinnati) and three ATP 500 tournaments (Rotterdam, Queen’s Club and Tokyo).

Sinner held the top spot from the Monday after Roland Garros in 2024 through the Monday after this year’s US Open, increasing his total to 66 weeks when he recaptured No. 1 for one week ahead of the Nitto ATP Finals. Alcaraz and Sinner were the only two players to hold World No. 1 this season.

Year-end No. 1 was still up for grabs in Turin, but Alcaraz swept his three round-robin matches to clinch year-end No. 1. Alcaraz and Sinner met six times this season, with the former winning four of their six Lexus ATP Head2Head showdowns. Sinner triumphed against the Spaniard on Sunday in the championship match of the Nitto ATP Finals, marking his second consecutive victory at the season finale.

Novak Djokovic finished in the year-end Top 5 for the 17th time, breaking a tie with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for the most in PIF ATP Rankings history. Ending 2025 as World No. 4, the Serbian reached the 100-titles mark in Geneva and added his 101st tour-level title in Athens. Only Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103) own more singles trophies in the Open Era.

Alcaraz, Sinner and Alexander Zverev were also in the year-end Top 5 in 2024. There are three players who finished the season in the year-end Top 10 for the first time: Lorenzo Musetti, Ben Shelton and Jack Draper. All three men had never cracked the Top 10 before 2025, but each reached No. 6 or higher in 2025.

In the year-end Top 10, there are two Italians (Sinner and Musetti) and two Americans (Taylor Fritz and Shelton). It is just the second time there have been two Italians in the same season, with Matteo Berrettini and Sinner doing so in 2021.

There are two lefties in the year-end Top 10: Shelton and Draper. It is the first time more than one lefty has finished a season in the elite group since 2010 (Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco). Both Shelton and Draper cracked the Top 5, joining Nadal as the only lefties to do so this century.
