Overview
- The eight-player field is set after Djokovic pulled out hours after winning Athens for career title No. 101, with first alternate Lorenzo Musetti taking his place.
- Carlos Alcaraz can clinch year-end No. 1 by winning all three group matches or by reaching the final with at least one group win, regardless of Jannik Sinner’s results.
- Sinner, last year’s undefeated champion, carries 1,500 points to defend and likely needs the title again to finish No. 1, depending on Alcaraz’s tally.
- The groups are Connors: Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, Alex de Miñaur, Musetti; and Borg: Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, Félix Auger-Aliassime, with an unusual split order of play across Sunday and Monday.
- Turin’s event runs Nov. 9–16 at Inalpi Arena, features up to 1,500 ranking points for an unbeaten champion, and offers $15.5 million in prize money, including up to about $5.071 million for a perfect run.
