In the last two editions of the tournament, he has floundered against Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final. Sinner made his debut in the Nitto ATP Finals in 2021 as an alternate. He replaced fellow Italian Matteo Berrettini, pushed Daniil Medvedev to a final-set tie-break and ousted Hubert Hurkacz.

Sinner has savoured success in what turned out to be a standout year for him. He lifted two major titles for the second straight season. He defended his crown at the Australian Open and experienced euphoria after lifting his maiden Wimbledon title. He made it all the way to the French Open final but fell short against Alcaraz.

Sinner avenged his heartbreaking French Open final loss as he outclassed his rival and Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz to secure his maiden Wimbledon title. The 23-year-old lifted his fourth major title, after two Australian Open and a US Open triumph, defeating Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a clash oozing with class and intensity in every shot.
