Carlos Alcaraz produced a masterclass to deny Jannik Sinner a fairytale ending at the Italian Open and the Spaniard was well rewarded in terms of ranking points and prize money.
After a tight opening set in the Rome finale, Alcaraz stepped it up and overwhelmed the local hero to claim a 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 victory and lift his first trophy at Foro Italico.
With the win, the 22-year-old took his ATP Masters 1000 title tally to seven while he has now won 19 ATP Tour singles tournaments, including four Grand Slams.
“I’m just really happy to get my first Rome [title], hopefully it’s not going to be the last one,” the world No 2 said.
Alcaraz added: “I’m proud of myself, with the way I approached the match mentally. Tactically, I think I played pretty well from the first point until the last one. I didn’t do a rollercoaster… I maintained my good level throughout the whole match, so I’m really proud about everything I did today.”
So how many points and how much money did the two finalists earn? What about those who lost earlier in the tournament?
ATP Points Earned In Rome
ATP Masters 1000 title winners earn 1,000 points, but as with all tournaments they have to defend their points from the previous year at the same tournament/during the same timeframe.
Alcaraz, though, didn’t play in 2024 as he was injured so he leaves with the full complement of 1,000 points and moves to 8,850 ranking points.
Like Alcaraz, Sinner – who was playing in his first tournament since completing his three-month doping ban – also didn’t compete last year so he added 650 points to his tally in the ATP Rankings.
Semi-finalists earn 400 points and Lorenzo Musetti and Tommy Paul and the former was defending 90 points from an ATP Challenger Tour event in 2024 and went home with 310 points while Paul added zero points as he lost at the same stage last year.
