Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner largely dominated this 2025 season, winning all four Grand Slam tournaments. The Spaniard and the Italian play in another dimension.
Rest assured, if you want to remember the winners of the four Grand Slam tournaments of the 2025 season, there are only two names to remember: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The Spaniard and the Italian have confiscated the four biggest trophies of the season. At the first Roland-Garros and the US Open, at the second the Australian Open and Wimbledon. This shows the complete domination of the two men. Besides, when one won a Major, the other was never far away… Alcaraz and Sinner faced each other in three of the four Major finals (with the exception of the Australian Open, it was against Alexander Zverev). Moreover, this has been going on for some time since for two years, no Grand Slam title has been awarded to a player other than the Spaniard or the Italian… And as far as the Masters 1000 is concerned, it is 50% victories for the Alcaraz/Sinner pair.
In 2025, Carlos Alcaraz won a total of eight titles over the entire season (Rotterdam, Monte Carlo, Rome, Roland Garros, Queen’s, Cincinnati, US Open, Tokyo) for three finals (Barcelona, Wimbledon, Masters). His record is also 70 victories for 10 defeats. While his friend has won six times (Australian Open, Wimbledon, Beijing, Vienna, Rolex Paris Masters, Masters (Turin)) for four finals (Rome, Roland Garros, Cincinnati, US Open) and a record of 59 victories for 6 defeats.
Undivided domination
The outrageous domination of the first two in the ATP rankings is astonishing, especially when we know that after the Big Three (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic), another generation of players (Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas) was knocking on the door… But the two men are unplayable or almost. A funny statistic shows to what extent the Spaniard and the Italian are engaged in quite a duel. In 16 main circuit clashes and 3302 points played, the two have each won exactly the same number of points (1651). And this observation is shared by other players on the circuit. “It’s really, really impressive and sometimes a little annoying to see how good they’ve become,” Casper Ruud explained recently. It must also be said that competition from other big names was almost zero. As RTBF points out, a statistic illustrates this observation: There are more points difference in the ATP rankings between Jannik Sinner (world No. 2) and Alexander Zverev (world No. 3) than between the German and… the 1000th player in the world.
