Sinner’s rate is historically one of the best in ATP history, indicating an unparalleled level of dominance and consistency whenever he stepped on the court.

The Italian’s record shows he lost only six matches all season, only two of which were to players other than Alcaraz. This stat powerfully argues that Sinner, on a per-match basis, was the more dominant player in 2025.

The Spaniard’s conversion rate in finals was strong, going 8-3.

Titles rounds reached (Alcaraz=11; Sinner=10)

Jannik Sinner, however, reached a final in every one of the five biggest events on the calendar: the four Grand Slams (winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon) and the ATP Finals (which he won).

His total of 10 finals reached is impressive, especially considering his three-month suspension earlier in the season which limited his tournament play.
