Jannik Sinner’s remarkable season has brought him home to Turin as the world number one for the ATP Finals. Greeted enthusiastically by fans, Sinner has been a dominant force in 2024 winning seven titles including the Australian and US Opens. Despite being at the center of a doping controversy from which an independent panel cleared him of any wrongdoing, Jannik Sinner has suffered only one loss in his last 23 matches.

The Italian is set to compete in a tough group with Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur. Medvedev the 2020 champion has had a consistent year, reaching several major rounds despite no titles. Fritz reached his first Grand Slam final at the US Open and won two titles while de Minaur making his debut has shown strong results across surfaces reaching three Grand Slam quarter-finals.

The second group includes Carlos Alcaraz, who won both the French Open and Wimbledon in 2024, highlighting a stellar year after his semi-final finish in 2023. Alexander Zverev a two-time champion seeks a third title despite another Grand Slam eluding him. Casper Ruud returned to form with two titles after illness setbacks and Andrey Rublev secured his spot with notable performances including a Madrid Masters win.

Novak Djokovic a record seven-time winner, qualified but withdrew altering group dynamics. In doubles, Britain’s Henry Patten debuts alongside Harri Heliovaara after a strong season that included a Wimbledon victory. The Finals follow a round-robin format with top-ranked players split into two groups, competing for semi-final spots. The eight-day tournament features daily sessions culminating in the final on 17 November.
