Djokovic Withdrawal Triggers Last-Minute Shake-Up at ATP Finals in Turin

A revised order of play that splits the opening pools leaves several contenders with uneven rest.

Overview

Novak Djokovic is a confirmed no-show, prompting late roster and schedule changes for the season-ending event.
Félix Auger-Aliassime officially qualified as the No. 8 entrant and is slated to open against Jannik Sinner in Monday's night session.
Lorenzo Musetti entered the draw following Djokovic’s withdrawal and is scheduled to face Taylor Fritz on Monday with minimal preparation time.
Because the final spot remained unsettled until the last moment, the ATP split the first round of pool play, resulting in uneven rest days across the field.
Published orders of play list Sunday singles of Carlos Alcaraz vs Alex de Minaur and Alexander Zverev vs Ben Shelton, with Monday featuring Sinner vs Auger-Aliassime and Fritz vs Musetti; the tournament runs Nov. 1–8 in Turin on indoor hard courts with $15.5 million in prize money.
