New Delhi: Jannik Sinner walked off the court on Sunday looking calm, composed and almost untouched after another straight-sets win over Carlos Alcaraz. As the Italian stepped into the locker room, the real version of the 2025 ATP Finals champions showed up, the one well known to his team. The bottles popped, champagne flew everywhere and the usually reserved Italian finally let the emotion spill out. The video of that celebration has now taken over the internet and it’s easy to see why.
The Italian walked into the locker room expecting handshakes. Instead, he was welcomed with a wall of champagne as his support staff erupted in celebration. Sinner tried to shield himself but failed instantly and then he himself grabbed a bottle to fire back. The celebration was everything fans imagine elite sporting triumphs look like behind the curtain.
Now this, is SINEMA 🎬

Sinner beat the World No.1 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 in Turin to close out one of the most dramatic seasons of his career. He defended his title without dropping a set for the second year in a row, extending his unbeaten run at the event to 20 matches. For someone often labelled “quiet” or “not expressive enough,” this was the perfect response, as he had a loud, messy, joyful moment with the people who saw every high and low of his year up close.
A title that meant more than a trophy
This wasn’t just another win for the Italian over Alcaraz. It came at the end of a year where the two controlled the entire tour, sweeping all four Slams between them. The Spaniard had dominated most of their meetings, taking seven of their last nine clashes, including that unforgettable five-hour French Open epic where he saved a championship point. But Sinner answered back with Wimbledon, and now, with his home crowd watching, he ended the season with the last word.
The year was far from smooth for both. Sinner missed three months due to a doping suspension, a stretch that could have shattered rhythm and confidence. Instead, he returned sharper. Alcaraz had been in strong form throughout the season, though he seemed to be hampered by a hamstring issue during the final.
After all the twists and turns, both young stars head into 2026 with momentum and the belief that they can continue dominating the men’s circuit.
