Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have played out a thrilling battle on the ATP Tour in 2025, and it isn\u2019t over yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alcaraz<\/a> is currently number one in the world, closely followed by Sinner<\/a> in second, with both players having already qualified for the ATP<\/a> Finals.<\/p>\n

They have also dominated the Grand Slams in the 2025 season, with the duo combining to win each of the four titles, just as they did last year.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz versus Sinner is the best rivalry<\/a> in men\u2019s tennis right now, and that theme could continue for some time.<\/p>\n

But it is the Spaniard who looks set to win that battle this year as he closes in on the year-end number one spot.<\/p>\n

Sinner will need to win his remaining events and Alcaraz will need to suffer early exits if there is to be a dramatic change at this late stage of the season.<\/p>\n

And discussing whether or not that could happen, Sam Querrey<\/a> said on Tennis Channel: \u201c[Carlos] isn\u2019t going to go lose lose to end the year, right? I think Carlos is going to win some matches, maybe some tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Sinner last year, remember how well he played at the end of the year? He could roll off three in a row late, but I think the lead from Carlos is just too much right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Querrey shares reaction to Jannik Sinner\u2019s cramps at the Shanghai Masters<\/p>\n

The Italian\u2019s quest for a late scare certainly wasn\u2019t helped at the Shanghai Masters, where Sinner retired hurt with cramps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He had a fantastic chance to close the gap on the Spaniard given Alcaraz wasn\u2019t playing the ATP Masters 1000 event, but it wasn\u2019t meant to be amid the tricky conditions.<\/p>\n

Analysing Sinner\u2019s cramps, Querrey said: \u201cVery rare, and tough to watch, anytime you see a guy cramp, but this kind of lasted for maybe eight to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was trying to get through it, trying to see if the cramps would subside. They didn\u2019t. And then ultimately he had to retire.\u201d<\/p>\n\nRank<\/strong><\/td>\nPlayer<\/strong><\/td>\nPoints<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/td>\n11,040<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2<\/td>\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\n8,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
