The ATP Finals are set to begin in Turin: From November 15 to 22, the season’s top tennis players will face off at the Inalpi Arena. Jannik Sinner will be absent due to his well-known knee injury, but there is still one Italian in the field: Flavio Cobolli earned his spot in the Masters tournament after an extraordinary 2026 season, which culminated in the French Open final, a loss to Zverev.

Cobolli has been placed in the Ivan Lendl group alongside Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Frances Tiafoe. The John McEnroe group, meanwhile, will feature Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils, and Rafael Jodar.

The group stage will take place from Sunday, November 15, through Friday, November 20: the top two players from each group will face off on Saturday, November 21, in crossover semifinals, while the final is scheduled for Sunday, November 22.

The new world No. 1, Zverev, and Sinner’s archrival, Alcaraz, are the two heavy favorites to win the tournament. The German player has won two Grand Slams, while the champion from Murcia claimed the Australian Open earlier this year and has won a total of five tournaments so far in 2026. American Ben Shelton is the most accomplished of the potential dark horses, but keep an eye on the very young Jodar as well, who is making his debut in the competition.

Turin will also host the doubles tournament, featuring the Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, who will fine-tune their partnership ahead of the Davis Cup Finals.
