The next step in the men’s tennis season is the ATP Finals draw in Turin on 12 November, before competition begins on 15 November. The organiser’s guide, published on 9 November, confirms that the indoor event will run until 22 November at the Inalpi Arena.
Two routes through the group stage
Eight singles players will be divided into two groups, with two advancing from each. The semi-finals are scheduled for 21 November. Alexander Zverev is seeking a third title, while Carlos Alcaraz is looking for his first.
Alcaraz comes into the week after beating Ben Shelton 7-6(5), 7-5 in the Paris final on 8 November. Reuters reported on Monday that he regarded the victory as a confidence boost.
The immediate question is the draw, rather than any assumed final. Until the groups are announced, potential matchups remain possibilities; the Paris result cannot establish who will progress in Turin.
