The Story of the Season

From the stats sheet alone, it’s easy to see why Carlos Alcaraz was named our 2025 ATP Player of the Year:

He clinched the ATP’s year-end No. 1 ranking, won a tour-high 71 matches and claimed eight trophies. including two Grand Slam titles. He reached the final at all four majors, splitting them evenly with rival Jannik Sinner: Alcaraz defended his Roland Garros crown and captured his sixth major title at the US Open, while Sinner won the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

So it’s almost surreal to remember that, at this time last year, pundits questioned whether Alcaraz—then ranked No. 3—could find the week-to-week consistency and emotional resilience needed to stay on top.
