Alcaraz Extends ‘Big Titles’ Lead Over Sinner with Rome Victory
In a thrilling conclusion to the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious, claiming his second Big Title of 2025 and extending his lead over Jannik Sinner. According to the ATP Tour, Alcaraz’s win marked his 11th Big Title, a prestigious category that combines Grand Slam championships, Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 trophies, and Olympic singles gold medals.
The Spaniard’s impressive record in Big Titles events continues to grow, with Alcaraz now owning multiple Big Titles in four consecutive seasons. As reported by the ATP Tour, Alcaraz’s tally of 11 Big Titles places him ahead of Sinner, who has won eight. The 22-year-old has demonstrated remarkable consistency in high-pressure situations, boasting an 11-2 record in championship matches at Big Titles events.
Alcaraz’s victory in Rome marked his seventh ATP Masters 1000 title, with the Spaniard having earned glory at each of the season’s first five Masters 1000 events at least once in his career. Notably, Alcaraz is now tied for the eighth-most crowns in ATP Masters 1000 history (since 1990) with Michael Chang and Alexander Zverev. As highlighted by the ATP Tour, Alcaraz has succeeded at these tournaments at a historic level, earning more than one Big Title for every five of the events he has played (1 title per 4.5 events).
A detailed breakdown of Alcaraz and Sinner’s Big Titles records, as reported by the ATP Tour, reveals the following:
| Players | Grand Slams | NATP Finals | 1000s | Total^ (Avg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carlos Alcaraz | 4/16 | 0/2 | 7/30 | 11/49 (4.5) |
| Jannik Sinner | 3/21 | 1/3 | 4/34 | 8/57 (7.1) |
The ATP Tour notes that Alcaraz’s rate of success in Big Titles events is comparable to that of tennis legends, with only Novak Djokovic (3.2), Rafael Nadal (3.5), and Roger Federer (4.4) ahead of him in this regard. In contrast, Sinner’s bid to narrow the gap with Alcaraz was thwarted, with the Italian having not lost a match since last year’s Beijing final against Alcaraz.
Alcaraz’s victory in Rome marked his second Big Title of 2025, following his win in Monte-Carlo last month. As the ATP Tour reports, the Spaniard’s form has been impressive, with Alcaraz consistently raising his level in high-pressure situations. The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings will look to continue his success in the coming weeks, as he seeks to add to his growing tally of Big Titles.
