Overview

  • Novak Djokovic defeated Lorenzo Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in Athens for his 101st tour title and a record 72nd on hard courts.
  • Soon after the final, Djokovic cited a persistent shoulder injury and withdrew from the Turin event; the ATP confirmed Musetti as his replacement.
  • Organizers reworked the opening days’ order of play by splitting group matches across Sunday and Monday to accommodate the last-minute changes.
  • Felix Auger-Aliassime lost the provisional final berth as Musetti moved into the eight-man field following Djokovic’s withdrawal.
  • The ATP Finals run Nov. 9–16 at Turin’s indoor Inalpi Arena, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner vying for year-end No. 1 and a prize pool of $15.5 million, including up to $5.071 million for an undefeated champion.
