ATP Finals 2026 | Nitto ATP Finals Draw, Betting Tips & How to Watch
The Nitto ATP Finals is the season-ending championship for the top eight men’s singles players and doubles teams on the ATP Tour. Held at the Palasport Olimpico in Turin, Italy since 2021, the tournament uses a unique round-robin format before knockout semi-finals and final. Jannik Sinner is the two-time defending champion after winning the title in both 2024 and 2025.
The ATP Finals is the most significant tournament in men’s tennis outside the four Grand Slams. With a prize pool of over $15 million and a format that guarantees at least three matches for every qualifier, it produces some of the highest-quality tennis of the season. Only the top eight players in the ATP Race qualify, meaning every match is an elite-level contest. The tournament has been held in Turin since 2021 under a contract that extends through 2028.

Key Contenders
Jannik Sinner (Defending Champion)
Sinner has won the ATP Finals in both 2024 and 2025, beating Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz respectively in the finals. The Italian is the hometown favourite in Turin and his indoor hard court game is perfectly suited to the conditions. A third consecutive title would put him in exclusive company alongside Djokovic and Federer.
Carlos Alcaraz
Alcaraz was the 2025 runner-up and will be desperate to add the ATP Finals to his growing trophy cabinet. The Spaniard’s rivalry with Sinner has defined men’s tennis in the 2020s, and the round-robin format gives him multiple opportunities to find his best level across the week.
Alexander Zverev
Zverev is a former ATP Finals champion (2018, 2021) and a consistent qualifier for the year-end event. His powerful serve and baseline game translate well to indoor hard courts, and his experience in the round-robin format is a significant advantage.
Other contenders
Novak Djokovic holds the all-time record with seven ATP Finals titles and remains a contender whenever he qualifies. Daniil Medvedev (2020 champion), Andrey Rublev and the emerging generation of Draper, Lehecka and Fils could all feature depending on the 2026 ATP Race standings.
