Overview
- The draw placed Carlos Alcaraz in the Jimmy Connors group with Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur, while Jannik Sinner leads the Bjorn Borg group with Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton and either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti.
- The year-end No. 1 will be settled in Turin, with Alcaraz leading the Race and Sinner currently listed atop the rankings after Paris at 11,500 points to 11,250.
- Djokovic’s participation remains uncertain as he said he will decide after competing in Athens this week.
- Musetti can still qualify by winning the Hellenic Championship, which would move him into Sinner’s group in place of Auger-Aliassime, and any withdrawal would prompt adjustments to the entry list.
- Entries and seedings for the 2026 Australian swing will be fixed by the post-Finals year-end rankings on November 17, with Challenger and ITF points earned before that date counting toward the cutoff.
