The race to ATP Finals 2025, the “Bat Hung” tournament for 8 best players of the year, is heating up day by day. This is not only a prestigious playground, gathering the quintessence of the tennis village, but also brings a huge bonus of more than 4.8 million USD for the champion Toan Thang, accompanied by 1,500 ATP bonus points.
According to the Race To Turin rankings, the two faces were sure to attend, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. This youthful duo dominates the world tennis with a score away from the rest.
Alcaraz is currently leading with 11,540 points, while Sinner sticks to the back with 10,780 points. With a safe gap, both of them assured Turin as the brightest candidate for the championship.
Meanwhile, the competition from third place onwards promises extremely tense. Alexander Zverev is temporarily ranked third with 5,930 points, followed by Novak Djokovic with 4,830 points.
This is the key period of the Serbia player, because he needs to maintain a foothold before the fierce pursuit from the rear group, including Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Jack Draper and Alex De Minaur. Only a few adverse results in the end of the season can cause Djokovic to be pushed from the top 8, the script that shocked the felt ball village when he was the “king” of ATP Finals with a record 7 times of coronation.
ATP Finals uses a circular format: 8 players divided into two tables, competing in the group stage to select 4 names in the semi -finals. This is always a particularly fierce tournament, because there is no room for average players. Only the strongest, most persistent people in the whole season won tickets.
In that context, the most notable story is Djokovic's future. After breathing down in the last few tournaments, the Grand Slam champion 24 times were forced to prove his bravery at the end of the season if he did not want to lose his familiar position.
In contrast, Alcaraz and Sinner can freely prepare for Turin, where they promise to continue to shape the new order of the world tennis.
ATP Finals 2025 will take place in Turin (Italy) from November 9 to 16, and every eye is focusing on the sprint race to win the last tickets. Will Djokovic speed up to protect the pride, or this year's ATP Finals will witness a completely new face?
