ATP stars Alexander Zverev, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner has overtaken Carlos Alcaraz in the Race to the ATP Finals in Turin following his victory at the 2026 Monte Carlo Masters.

The Italian star downed Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-3 in the championship match in Monte Carlo to secure his maiden Masters 1000 title on clay.

It was the first meeting between the dominant duo in 2026, and Sinner has climbed to world No 1 in the ATP Rankings for the first time this year.

What is the Race to Turin?

The eight ATP players who earn the most ranking points in a season qualify for the prestigious season-ending ATP Finals, which will be staged in Turin from 15 to 22 November.

If a current-year Grand Slam winner finishes between ninth and 20th in the Race, they will take the eighth and final qualification spot.

The yearly ranking list that calculates this qualification battle is known as the Race to Turin.

The ATP Finals, which was first held in 1970, is staged on indoor hard-court at the Inalpi Arena.
