Defending champion Jannik Sinner and top seed Carlos Alcaraz learned their group-stage fate on Thursday in Turin ahead of play beginning on Sunday, November 9th, at the Inalpi Arena.
Sinner headlines the Björn Borg Group, which also includes Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Felix Auger-Aliassime (or Lorenzo Musetti, if the Italian wins the Athens title this week to secure the final spot).
The Italian returns to Turin as the defending champion after a flawless 2024 campaign, where he swept through the field undefeated to lift the biggest title of his career on home soil. Having also reached the final in 2023, Sinner will again look to feed off the partisan crowd and cement his dominance indoors.
Top seed Carlos Alcaraz leads the Jimmy Connors Group alongside Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur. The Spaniard, competing at the year-end championships for the third consecutive year, is chasing his first ATP Finals title after reaching the semi-finals in 2023.
Three of this year’s eight singles competitors have previously lifted the trophy: Djokovic, a record seven-time champion; Zverev, who won in 2018 and 2021; and Sinner, last year’s victor.
Based on what we’ve seen from Jannik during Vienna and Paris, it’s hard to look past the Italian winning back-to-back finals.
And finally, will Novak play? Italian tennis chief Angelo Binaghi claimed earlier this week that the Serb had confirmed his participation, but Novak rubbished those claims just a day later.
Instead, he stated that he will decide whether to play at the year-end event following the conclusion of his campaign at the ongoing Hellenic Championship in Athens, Greece.
