Tennis's premier players will compete for the ATP Finals crown on Sunday when top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz faces second seed Jannik Sinner in Turin.
The championship showdown materialised after both men secured comfortable semi-final victories on Saturday evening.
Alcaraz dominated Felix Auger-Aliassime with a 6-1, 6-4 triumph, whilst Sinner dispatched Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2.
The 22-year-old Spaniard becomes the first player from his nation to reach the season-ending championship match since Rafael Nadal twelve years ago.

Meanwhile, the Italian seeks his third consecutive appearance in the tournament's title decider.
Both competitors have navigated through the week without dropping a match, setting the stage for tennis's most anticipated finale of 2025.
The victor will claim £3.9 million in prize money from the season's final tournament.
Their rivalry has defined 2025's tennis landscape, with the pair dividing the year's four major championships between them.
Sinner captured the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles, whilst Alcaraz secured victories at Roland Garros and Flushing Meadows.
The Spaniard holds a commanding 10-5 advantage in their career meetings and has prevailed in seven of their past eight encounters.
Their most recent ATP Tour clash saw Alcaraz triumph in September's US Open final, though Sinner claimed victory when they met at October's exhibition event in Saudi Arabia.
Sunday marks their sixth meeting this year, with all previous encounters occurring in tournament finals.
The tournament has showcased a changing of the guard in men's tennis, with Jim Courier observing on Tennis Channel that "it's all been about these two players, the 'New Two' since the season started."
World number six Taylor Fritz echoed this sentiment during the tournament, stating: "Before, there was the Big 3, and now we are in the era of the Big 2 with Sinner and Alcaraz."
Fritz acknowledged the challenge facing other players, noting: "I think I am a much better player than before, but I have to keep improving to be able to face them, because, to win a tournament, we start from the principle that you have to beat both, or at least one of them."

Alcaraz has already secured the year-end world number one ranking regardless of Sunday's outcome, having won eight tournaments this season and reached three additional finals.
Sinner responded graciously to his rival's achievement, saying: "If I had to choose another player to end up No. 1, I'd always choose him, he deserves it."
The Italian acknowledged his disappointment whilst praising Alcaraz's campaign: "He's had an incredible season… he's won two Slams, eight tournaments. He's playing at a very high level, he's competitive on any surface."
Sinner added that his rival "has a great team around him and he's earned these achievements. For me, this is motivation for next year."
