Jannik Sinner, the countdown is coming to an end

Jannik Sinner, anticipation grows for ATP Finals

There are only two days left until the group draw for the 2024 edition of the ATP Finals, the "tournament of champions" which will be hosted by the Inalpi Arena in Turin from November 10 to 17. The attention of Italian fans, inevitably, è all for Jannik Sinner, world No. 1 and last year’s finalist: the path to what would be another great success, forò, è all but easy.

In addition to the South Tyrolean, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz are already certain of participation; three other names will be certain at the conclusion of the ATP tournament in Metz, also in light of the forfeit by the current sixth-ranked player in the Race, Novak Djokovic, who has decided to forgo participation due to injury.

In the group stage, which will promote for each grouping of four the top two finishers, Sinner could have to deal with a group match with friend-rival Alcaraz. If the Spaniard is instead drawn in Zverev’s group (second in the Race and thus unable to meet Sinner) it will be Medvedev who will be one of the San Candido native’s opponents.

Currently, in the Race, Casper Ruud and Alex de Minaur to occupy positions 7 and 8. Just behind them is'è Andrey Rublev, ready to take over regardless of Metz results thanks to Nole’s waiver. All that remains is to wait for the officialdom of the eight names close to the draw, which will take place on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 12 noon.
