Jannik Sinner made light work of the ATP Finals group stage, advancing to the knockout rounds with a perfect record on home soil.

Sinner cruised past Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Felix Auger-Aliassime to top his group and set up a semi-final clash with Alex de Minaur. He’s aiming to become only the second player ever to win back-to-back titles at this event.

The world number two has also made ATP Finals history following yet another victory over Shelton this season.

Sinner’s record-setting streak continues at ATP Finals

Jannik Sinner’s last loss at the ATP Finals came in the 2023 final against Novak Djokovic, where he fell in straight sets.

Since then, he hasn’t looked back. For the second consecutive year, Sinner has gone through the group stage without dropping a set.

In doing so, he became the first player in ATP Finals history to win six straight round-robin matches without losing a set, a record that dates back to the tournament’s start in 1970.

Aside from Djokovic, only Daniil Medvedev has managed to beat Sinner at this event. That came during Sinner’s debut year in 2021.

Sinner entered that tournament as an alternate, stepping in for Matteo Berrettini during the group stage.

He picked up a win over Hubert Hurkacz before falling to Medvedev, gaining valuable experience even if he didn’t advance further that year.

Sinner’s record of wins at the ATP Finals

Across his three appearances at the ATP Finals, Sinner has now beaten 10 different players. The Italian has already picked up 12 wins at the tournament, bolstered by his 2024 victory and 2023 final appearance.

Players Jannik Sinner has beaten at the ATP Finals Year
Ben Shelton 2025
Felix Auger-Aliassime 2025
Alexander Zverev 2025
Daniil Medvedev 2024 and 2023
Taylor Fritz 2024 (twice)
Alex de Minaur 2024
Casper Ruud 2024
Novak Djokovic 2023
Hubert Hurkacz 2023 and 2021
Holger Rune 2023

Sinner is well-suited to the indoor hard court format, and with both Djokovic and Medvedev absent from this year’s draw, he’s in a strong position to add another title. Carlos Alcaraz could be his biggest obstacle.

The Italian remains unbeaten this year in Turin and looks like the favourite to retain his crown. Another final between Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz seems entirely possible as the 2025 season heads into its final stages.
