ATP Finals 2026 Set in Turin with Alcaraz Chasing Top-Ranked Zverev

World No. 1 Alexander Zverev headlines the 2026 ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, leading a field of the world's top eight singles players and doubles pairs as the tournament gets underway on November 15. Zverev secured the top ranking after capturing two Grand Slam titles during the year, while Carlos Alcaraz chases the top spot following back-to-back tournament victories after returning from a right wrist injury.

The prestigious season-ending event will proceed without two-time defending champion and local favorite Jannik Sinner, who remains sidelined due to a right knee injury sustained after his Wimbledon triumph. Sinner's absence opens the door for a competitive singles draw featuring four tournament debutants: Italy's Flavio Cobolli, France's Arthur Fils, American Frances Tiafoe, and Spain's Rafael Jódar, who made history by reaching the event in the same year as his ATP Tour debut. American Ben Shelton and Russia's Daniil Medvedev complete the elite field.

Competitors are divided into four pots based on the ATP Race to Turin standings, advancing through a round-robin stage into the knockout rounds. The total prize pool reaches $15.75 million, with an undefeated singles champion eligible to take home up to $5.17 million alongside 1,500 ranking points.

What to watch next: Round-robin action starts November 15, leading up to the singles semifinals on November 21 and the championship match on November 22.
