Jannik Sinner won two Grand Slams and the ATP Finals in 2025 while he also finished the year at No 2 in the rankings, but that was not enough to earn him the Sportsman of the Year award at the Gazzetta Sports Awards.<\/p>\n
Despite missing three months of action due to his doping ban, Sinner<\/a> was second behind Carlos Alcaraz for most titles won this season as he won six trophies in total while the Spaniard collected eight.<\/p>\n Besides his Australian Open, Wimbledon and ATP Finals titles, the Italian also won the Paris Masters, China Open and Vienna Open while he topped the prize-money list for 2025 as he earned $19,120,641 with the cheque of $5.071m<\/a> \u2013 the highest prize money in ATP Tour history \u2013 he picked up at the Finals in Turin helping him to usurp Alcaraz ($18,803,427).<\/p>\n But all of that was not enough to win the Gazzetta Sports Award for the second consecutive year as he was beaten to the trophy by fellow tennis player Lorenzo Musetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n World No 8 Musetti didn\u2019t win any titles in 2025, but he did finish runner-up at the Monte Carlo Masters, Chengdu Open and Hellenic Championships while he also reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros and the quarter-finals of the US Open.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old\u2019s major achievements were his top-10 breakthrough as he started the year at No 17 and reached a career-high of No 6 in June while also competing at the ATP Finals for the first time, exiting after the group phase.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a truly wonderful season, with so many firsts: I\u2019ve cracked the top 10, reached my first final in Monte Carlo, and qualified for the Finals for the first time,\u201d Musetti said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been looking for this leap in maturity for a long time. Sinner and Alcaraz? I\u2019m working to bridge this gap. I met with both of them this year, and it helped me understand where I can improve. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve added coach [Jose] Perlas to my team, who will work alongside [Simone] Tartarini. I hope this can lead to a definitive leap in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n ATP News<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic appear on list of ranking winners as Jannik Sinner drops<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
