ATP Finals Begin in Turin After Djokovic Withdrawal, Sinner to Open Monday

Lorenzo Musetti replaces Djokovic, reshaping the groups to boost Italian interest.

Overview

  • The season-ending title will also decide the year-end No. 1, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner the main contenders.
  • Alcaraz opens against Alex de Minaur today, with Sinner vs Felix Auger-Aliassime and Musetti vs Taylor Fritz scheduled for Monday in the evening and afternoon slots.
  • Coach Darren Cahill said his future is in Sinner’s hands and stated he will remain available to continue in 2026 if Sinner wants him.
  • Due to missed mandatory Masters events following a three-month suspension, Sinner is ineligible for the ATP bonus pool, a reported loss of about $2.3 million.
  • Alexander Zverev noted he would have preferred Alcaraz’s group and called Sinner the strongest player on Turin’s fast indoor courts.
