- Sinner enters the ATP Finals as the world number one after a dominant season, winning the Australian and US Opens.
- Alexander Zverev, ranked number two, recently secured the Paris Masters title, showcasing strong form ahead of the finals.
- Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to injury, marking the first finals since 2001 without Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic.
- The group stage draw places Sinner in the Ilie Nastase Group with Medvedev, Fritz, and De Minaur, while Zverev faces Alcaraz, Ruud, and Rublev in the John Newcombe Group.
- Sinner's season has been overshadowed by a doping controversy, with an appeal pending despite initial clearance by the ITIA.
