Siner defended the trophy in Turin and ended the year with a title

Janik Siner and Carlos Alcaraz played several historic matches this season, and it was their duel that put an end to the tennis season - the Italian tennis player defeated Alcaraz 2:0 (7:6, 7:5) in the final of the final Masters in Turin tonight.

Siner defended the title he won last year, but Alkaras will finish the year at number one on the ATP list.

"Carlos deserved to be number 1 at the end of the year. He is a player who motivates me a lot, I believe that the fans here are overjoyed to have been able to see him. I believe that many great tennis battles are ahead of us. Thank you to the fans who created a great atmosphere, reminiscent of Serie A matches. With you, everything turned out positively," said Siner, who recorded his 31st consecutive triumph on hard courts indoors.

Siner and Alcaraz played their first match of the season in Rome, where the Spaniard won, and then an epic duel followed in the final of Roland Garros, in which Alcaraz also won.

Siner then got his revenge on Alcaraz at Wimbledon, and Alcaraz played a furious final at the US Open and won the tournament in New York.

And it was expected that the Spaniard and the Italian would put an end to the season in the final, and in the end, Siner won the title in his homeland.

There were no breaks in the first set tonight, and Alcaraz only had one chance to break his opponent's serve in the 12th game of the first set. Siner defended himself then, and then took the lead in the sets in the tie-break.

There was an interruption at the beginning of the first set because someone in the stands became ill.

At the beginning of the second set, Alcaraz finally managed to break. The Spaniard led 2:0 and 3:1, but then Siner tied three games, returned the break and turned the game around - 4:3.

Then it looked like the second set would go to a tie-break, but in the 12th game the Italian used the break point, which was also the match point, and defended the title he won last year.

"I am very pleased with the level of tennis I showed tonight. I know who I played against - a man who has not been defeated indoors for two years. Janik is a great tennis player, I know that he and his team have put in a lot of effort. After every defeat, he comes back stronger and stronger in every set and every final. I want to thank my team, my family, I am very happy that they are here with me. This has been a long year, I think I have been at a high level throughout the year, and this final means a lot to me. I promised that I would not leave this court without holding my head high," said Alkaras.
