Alcaraz has a good chance of regaining the world number one position from Sinner

With a record of not dropping a set at the 2025 Paris Masters, Jannik Sinner returned to the top of the ATP rankings after Alcaraz had held the position for 8 weeks. The Italian has 10,500 points while Alcaraz has 10,250 points.

However, the two players' positions will change after the 2025 ATP Finals take place in Turin (Italy) from November 9 to November 16. Sinner, as the defending champion, needs to successfully defend this title and 1,500 points to have a chance to keep the number one position until the end of the year.

If Sinner wins the ATP Finals with a perfect record, Alcaraz will need to win all three group matches or at least reach the final to retain the title. If Sinner loses one group match but still wins, Alcaraz will need to win at least two group matches.

If Sinner wins the ATP Finals despite winning just one group match, Alcaraz only needs to win one group match to secure the world number one spot. The advantage is on Alcaraz's side, but Sinner still has a chance to cause a surprise at the ATP Finals.

ATP Finals is a tournament for the 8 best players of the year, divided into two groups to compete in a round robin, and the top two players of the group qualify for the semi-finals. This is considered a prestigious playground, just after the 4 Grand Slam tournaments of the year.

The next positions on the ATP rankings still belong to Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Novak Djokovic. Alexander Bublik rose to 13th ATP thanks to his achievement in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters 2025 and Valentin Vacherot moved up 10 places to 30th after his achievement in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters.
