Alcaraz vs. Sinner live updates: Latest score and news from today’s ATP Tour Finals showpiece

Alcaraz 3-2* Sinner

It is a long time now since Alcaraz has served in this match, but he shows no signs of rust, coming up with the serve plus one to get ahead in the game.

But two points then go the way of Sinner with the Spaniard spraying a loose backhand long. The forehand on the following point fires, though, with Sinner unable to get his return over the net.

Two more costly errors, one on both sides of the net, take us to deuce for the second game in a row. And then a brilliant backhand that just kisses the back of the baseline is too hot for Sinner to handle.

Another loose groundstroke from the Italian gives Alcaraz a third hold.
