Carlos Alcaraz faces a tough road in Turin in his quest for a maiden ATP Finals championship.
The draw for the 2025 ATP Finals was conducted today and places Alcaraz alongside seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, 2024 finalist Taylor Fritz and seventh-seeded Aussie Alex de Minaur in the Jimmy Connors Group.
Reigning ATP Finals champion Jannik Sinner, who will duel Alcaraz for the year-end world No. 1 ranking, headlines the Bjorn Borg Group that features two-time former champion Alexander Zverev, debutant Ben Shelton and the eighth seed, which will be either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti.
World No. 1 Sinner rides a 26-match indoor hard-court winning streak into Turin coming off back-to-back title runs in Vienna and Paris.
World No. 9 Musetti must take the title at this week’s Athens Open to surpass Auger-Aliassime and lock down the eighth and final spot in Turin.
