Nitto ATP Finals 2025 Day 7 Results
| Winner | Loser | Scoreline |
|---|---|---|
| Jannik Sinner (2) | Alex de Minaur (7) | 7-5 6-2 |
| Carlos Alcaraz (1) | Felix Auger-Aliassime (8) | 6-2 6-4 |
Jannik Sinner (2) def. Alex de Minaur (7) 7-5 6-2
Jannik Sinner powered into the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals championship match for the third straight year with a 7-5, 6-2 semi-final victory over Alex de Minaur in Turin on Saturday, maintaining his perfect record against the Australian.
I thought De Minaur played a great match, saving 7 break points in the first set and taking Sinner all the way to 5-5 despite the Italian’s relentless hitting. However, Sinner is just too good and beats the Aussie in all areas – with a bigger and better serve, more potency from the baseline, and higher intensity. The only area you can say De Minaur might have an edge in is foot speed and ability to scamper on defence, and even that’s debatable.
Key Match Highlights:
First Set (7-5, 58 minutes): De Minaur threatened early with 0/40 on Sinner’s opening serve, but the Italian saved all three break points. Sinner created 8 break points across the set, converting the eighth at 5-5 with a backhand winner down the line.
Second Set (6-2, 54 minutes): Sinner broke twice early, overwhelming with intensity and clean striking (32 winners total, 75% first serves in). De Minaur’s resistance crumbled as the Italian raced to victory. Sinner now leads their head-to-head 13-0.
Post-Match Context:
- Match duration: 1 hour, 52 minutes.
- Youngest player since Lleyton Hewitt (2004) to reach three end-of-season finals.
- Held all 40 service games this week, joins Djokovic (2018) as the only men to reach a final without being broken since 1991.
- Extends indoor win streak to 30 matches.
Post Match Quotes (Sinner):
First of all, I am very happy. It is the last event of the year and it is great to finish in this way. It was a very tough match, especially at the beginning of the first set. I felt like he was serving great, very precise. In the second set, I broke very early and then my level rose. I tried to be a bit more aggressive and it worked well but it was a tough match. But making the final for three consecutive years means a lot to me. It is a great atmosphere for me to play tennis and a great place for me to close this beautiful season. Tomorrow I will enjoy and try my best to get the best possible result. Sinner on his win.

Highlights
Carlos Alcaraz (1) def. Felix Auger-Aliassime (8) 6-2 6-4
Carlos Alcaraz advanced to his first Nitto ATP Finals championship match with a dazzling 6-2, 6-4 semi-final victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime in Turin on Saturday evening, setting up a blockbuster final against Jannik Sinner.
I hadn’t realised until after recapping the round robins that FAA had a 2-0 record against Alcaraz indoors heading into the semi-final, but that wasn’t a factor as Carlos dominated from the outset.
In Felix’s first service game, he landed some pretty decent-looking first serves, but they came back at his feet. That trend continued as Alcaraz won 41% of first serve return points and was simply a step ahead of his counterpart in all areas.
Electric movement, plenty of variety and some big ball striking off both wings: too good from the very first point to the last.
Key Match Highlights:
First Set (6-2, 32 minutes): Alcaraz broke early for 3-1 with a jaw-dropping sequence: a bruising backhand rally, feathered drop shot, and full-stretch volley winner. He dominated with 13 winners to 2 unforced errors, racing through the opener.
Second Set (6-4, 51 minutes): Auger-Aliassime pushed harder, but Alcaraz stayed clinical. He broke in the 10th game on the Canadian’s fourth unforced error of the game to seal it. He now leads 5-3 in the H2H and records his first win against Felix indoors.
Post-Match Context:
- Match duration: 1 hour, 23 minutes.
- First Spaniard in Finals final since Nadal (2013); chasing first Spanish title since Corretja (1998).
- Tour-leading 11th final of 2025; undefeated this week (4-0).
- Received ATP Year-End No. 1 trophy Friday.
Post-match quotes (Alcaraz):
I felt like I could do everything on court. It didn’t matter if I did forehand down the line, drop shot or backhand down the line, I felt that everything was going to be in. I think that confidence helped through the whole match, pushing him to the limit, pushing him to do something different and I am happy that I continued playing such great tennis. Alcaraz on his win.
Broader Context:
- Auger-Aliassime ends 2025 at No. 5 (from No. 27 in August); won Brussels, Paris SF, US Open SF.
- Final vs. Sinner: Sunday 6 p.m. CET; Alcaraz leads 4-1 in 2025 (10-5 overall). Sinner on a 30-match indoor streak with home support.
