For Carlos Alcaraz, the stakes could be higher in the 2025 nitto atp finals.
Not only is the Spaniard within range of winning the year’s ATP-End Now-End Now. 1 brought by the elite in Pif, but he is also chasing his first title in the prestigious season, with which he will join the company in Elite.
If Alcaraz should win in Turin, he would become the 12th man to win the nitto atp finals while competing with the rest of the world Now. It’s an old division that has epitomized both dominance and endurance – the mark of a player who can finish a season on top, and prove to be the best.
Since ilie nastase first set the bench in 1973, only 11 men have managed to win nitto atp finals while holding the no. 1 place in the PIF ATP ranking.
| The player | Year(s) |
| Ilie Nastase | In 1973 |
| Jimmy Connors | In 1977 |
| Bjorn Borg | In 1979, 1980 |
| John McEnroe | In 1984 |
| Ivan Lendl | 1985, 1986, 1987 |
| Pete Sampras | 1994, 1996, 1997 |
| Lyleton Hewitt | 2002 |
| Roger Ferrer | In 2004, 2006, 2007 |
| And Novak Djokovic | 2012, 2014, 2015, 2023 |
| Andy Murray | 2016 |
| Jannik SINERY | 2024 |
The four players who won the Finals while they were World No. 1 at least – Djolovic, Federer, Sampras and Lendl – also boasted the most weeks spent at No. 1 in PIF atp levels. They have caught No.
It’s a reminder that this reach is strictly for the Elite of the game. Winning the Nitto ATP Finals as the world’s best player takes constant motivation, mental toughness, and the ability to climb this far.
Federer and Djokovic have matched that standard over the past two decades. Federer’s three titles as World No. 1 showcased his indoor beauty and maintained his beauty throughout the 2000s, while buildings set records for Djolovic – including Ched Nor No. 1 –
Andy Murray’s 2016 victory remains one of the most emotional chapters in the history of the NITTTO ATP Finals, as his victory over Djokovic in the title fantasy No.

Out of 52 players crowned at the Nitto ATP Finals since 1973, 21 have done so while competing with the Jimmy Consors Group after winning with Taylor Fritz, the challenge now is to change the opportunity in history.
The title of the 22-year-old Spaniard would not be wrapped up in a stoppage time, having already won eight Tour-Best Trophies. And it would add a major milestone to his fast-growing resume, placing him alongside the marks that have ended their seasons at the top of the sport.
