Sinner or Alcaraz: Who Will Be the TRH Invincible of 2025?

The Italian Jannik Sinner could claim his second TRH Invincible title, while Carlos Alcaraz has the chance to join the elite group of tennis season dominators.


The 2025 Numbers

With his 53rd win in 59 matches played this year before the Finals, Sinner holds an 89.93% win rate.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz boasts 67 wins in 75 matches, giving him an 89.33% win rate.

We’ve included the matches from the Six Kings Slam, since — even though they weren’t part of the regular ATP circuit — they were serious, high-level contests.
Without them, Alcaraz would sit at 90.41%, and Sinner at 89.29%.


What Does “TRH Invincible” Mean?

As followers of tennisraceforhistory.com know, the Tennis Race for History (TRH) awards the Invincible TRH title to the player who achieves at least a 90% win rate in a single season, with a minimum of 40 matches played.

In 2025, both players are within striking distance, but — at best — only one of them can make it.
With just the ATP Finals in Turin and the Davis Cup in Bologna left to play, a single loss would make the 90% target impossible.


The ‘Invincibles’ of the Open Era

In the Open Era, only a select few have achieved this feat — some of them multiple times.
Both Sinner and Alcaraz are still young, but they’re aiming to join this legendary list of Invincibles.
