Zverev and Alcaraz lead the Turin ATP Finals field without Jannik Sinner

Field, format and favourites

The Nitto ATP Finals, the season-ending event and the only tournament on the circuit awarding 1,500 ranking points, will be held at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from 15 to 22 November. Eight players qualified on the 2026 Race: Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jodar. Jannik Sinner, who won the last two editions, will not play because he is still recovering from a knee problem, so he cannot defend the title.

Zverev arrives as world No 1 for the first time in his career, at the age of 29. Alcaraz, who won the Masters 1000 in Paris by beating Shelton in the final, is ranked third. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Zverev said he had chased the top ranking all his life and that it reflects a more consistent season. He also said he is looking forward to facing Sinner again once he is back.

The draw splits the eight players into two groups of four. Each player meets the other three in his group, and the top two in each group advance to the semifinals, where the winner of Group A plays the runner-up of Group B and vice versa. Singles matches are best of three sets with tie-breaks at 7 points in every set, including the final.

Prize money for 2026 totals 15.75 million dollars, up 1.61% from 15.5 million in 2025, with the entire increase in singles. A round-robin win pays 405,000 dollars, up from 396,500.

Cobolli and the Italian contingent

Flavio Cobolli, ranked sixth, held his first training session at the Circolo della Stampa Sporting on 8 November. Andrea Vavassori, who was born in Turin, arrived on 9 November and will play doubles with Simone Bolelli for the third consecutive year.

“I have just arrived in Turin, I am really happy, see you soon at the Inalpi Arena.”

Sinner is also expected in Turin in the coming days, although he will not compete. He is due to present a limited-edition racket on Saturday, 14 November, probably at the Fan Village in piazza d'Armi, and the racket goes on sale from Thursday, 19 November.

Traffic, parking and transport

Turin's authorities have set out traffic measures for the arena area. Via Filadelfia will be closed from piazzale San Gabriele di Gorizia to corso Agnelli, and parking will be banned on parts of corso Agnelli, via Filadelfia, corso Galileo Ferraris and piazzale Regina Margherita. On event days, paid parking around the Inalpi Arena will cost a flat 10 euros per day, and the speed limit in the zone will be 30 km/h.

Gtt, the city and the Agenzia della Mobilità Piemontese have planned extra public transport, strengthening lines 4 and 10 with more frequent evening services and additional runs for arriving and departing fans. Under an agreement between Gtt and the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation, ticket holders can ride those lines for free on the day printed on their ticket, and tournament staff can use public transport free for the whole event. The metro will run daily, with hours extended until 1am on 12 November, the day of the Grand Opening.

Broadcast and city events

Sky Sport will broadcast every singles and doubles match live from Sunday 15 to Sunday 22 November, with more than 12 hours of daily coverage from 11:00 to 23:00, and NOW will stream the event. Fabio Fognini joins the Sky Sport tennis team as a special guest, alongside a studio team that includes Flavia Pennetta, Paolo Bertolucci and Ivan Ljubicic.

In piazza Castello, two geodesic domes with 180 seats each will host more than 50 talks with sports, culture and entertainment figures, free of charge with mandatory booking. On Friday, 20 November, at 17:15, the players will walk the Blue Carpet from via Roma to piazza San Carlo. The Grand Opening Show, featuring Achille Lauro, starts at 21:00 on Thursday, 12 November, and seven Italian musicians will perform during the intervals, one for each day of matches.
