Zverev Draws Shelton Again
Zverev, the leader of the Race to Turin and the champion in 2018 and 2021, is chasing a third title. His group includes Shelton, whom he beat in this year’s US Open final, and two debutants: Fils, the first Frenchman to qualify since Gaël Monfils in 2016, and Jódar, who was a college student at the University of Virginia a year ago. Our feature on Jódar tells the story of his season. Zverev arrives with a 1-0 lead in his head-to-head with Jódar, but he lost his only match at the Paris Masters, to Lorenzo Musetti.
Alcaraz Leads the Lendl Group
Alcaraz, the runner-up to Jannik Sinner in Turin in 2025, comes in as the form player in the field. Since returning from injury in August he has won titles in Tokyo, Vienna and Paris, where he beat Shelton in the final on 8 November. He leads Tiafoe 2-1 in their head-to-head. Medvedev won the ATP Finals in 2020, Cobolli is the only Italian in the singles field and Tiafoe is making his debut. Sinner, the two-time defending champion, is out for the season with a right knee injury.
