ATP Finals
The Nitto ATP Finals close the men’s season from 15 to 22 November 2026 at the Inalpi Arena in Turin. Eight players, two round-robin groups, and a format that rewards consistency across a week rather than survival in a knockout. It is the sixth consecutive year the event has been held in Turin, which is contracted to host through 2027.

How the Eight Qualify
Places go to the top eight in the ATP Race to Turin, a ranking that counts only points won during the current season. The Race runs from January and closes after the Paris Masters in early November, which is why that tournament so often decides the final seats.
Sinner Goes for Three
Jannik Sinner has won the last two editions, beating Taylor Fritz in 2024 and Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4) 7-5 in 2025. Indoor hard courts suit him as well as any surface does, and playing in Italy gives him a crowd that turns the Inalpi Arena into something close to a home tie.
Alcaraz is the obvious counterweight if he arrives fit. The pair have met in the closing match of the season once already and the round-robin format makes a rematch more likely than a knockout draw would.
Why the Format Matters
Round-robin changes the tennis. A player can lose their opening match and still win the title, so the early matches are played with a different risk calculus, and qualification often comes down to sets won rather than matches. It also guarantees every qualifier three matches, which means no one travels to Turin for a single afternoon.
