Sinner secured the title after defeating Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final, concluding a remarkable week that included wins over Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton. Auger-Aliassime, instrumental in Team World’s first two Laver Cup victories in London and Vancouver, remains hopeful for Turin as the runner-up, sitting just 160 points shy of the final qualification spot and awaiting results from the ATP 250 in Athens.

These players' performances and rivalries continue to shape the exciting build-up to the Turin tournament.
