Caption: Alcaraz Clinches Year-End No. 1 After Dominant ATP Finals Run. Carlos Alcaraz secured the year-end world No. 1 ranking after reaching the ATP Finals knockout stage with three straight group wins. The Spaniard sealed the achievement by defeating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-1, celebrating with a roar as he crossed the 70-win mark for the first time. Alcaraz tops the Jimmy Connors Group, avoiding a semi-final clash with rival Jannik Sinner, who leads the Bjorn Borg Group. Sinner will face Alex de Minaur in the semis while Alcaraz awaits the winner of Alexander Zverev vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime. The 22-year-old said finishing No. 1 “means everything,” especially after chasing Sinner all season. Alcaraz ends the year as the top-ranked player for the second time, first achieving the milestone as a teenager in 2022. His season includes a tour-leading 70 match wins and eight titles — including two Grand Slams — matching his total number of losses.
