Jannik Sinner finished second in the Race standings with 7,950 points but will not compete because of injury. His absence allows Jódar, ninth in the Race, to enter the eight-player field.

Singles Players to Watch

Alexander Zverev — Germany

Alexander Zverev arrives in Turin as the new World No. 1 and one of the most experienced participants.

The German has qualified for the ATP Finals for the ninth time and previously won the competition in 2018 and 2021.

Zverev is seeking a third season-ending championship, which would further establish his place among the tournament’s most successful players.

Carlos Alcaraz — Spain

Carlos Alcaraz returns to the ATP Finals as one of the leading contenders for the title.

The Spaniard enjoyed another successful season in 2026, highlighted by his Australian Open triumph, which completed his Career Grand Slam.

Alcaraz also played an important role in deciding the final qualification place. His quarter-final victory over Taylor Fritz at the Rolex Paris Masters confirmed Rafael Jódar’s spot in Turin.

Ben Shelton — United States

Ben Shelton qualified for the ATP Finals for the second consecutive year following an impressive 2026 campaign.

The American reached his first Grand Slam singles final at the US Open and won four ATP Tour titles, including the Canadian Masters 1000 tournament.

The left-hander will attempt to become the first left-handed ATP Finals singles champion since John McEnroe in 1984.

Daniil Medvedev — Russia

Daniil Medvedev returns to Turin after missing the 2025 edition.

The 2020 ATP Finals champion qualified for the seventh time in his career following a strong comeback season.

Medvedev won four titles in 2026, including Brisbane, Dubai, Hangzhou, and Almaty.

He also reached the Indian Wells Masters final, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.

With Zverev, Medvedev is one of only two former ATP Finals singles champions in this year’s field.

Flavio Cobolli — Italy

Flavio Cobolli will make his ATP Finals debut in front of home supporters.

The Italian reached his first Grand Slam singles final at Roland Garros in 2026 and captured the ATP 500 title in Acapulco.

He also reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals and Cincinnati Masters semi-finals.

Cobolli joins Matteo Berrettini, Jannik Sinner, and Lorenzo Musetti among the Italian players who have qualified for the Turin edition of the season-ending championships.

Arthur Fils — France

Arthur Fils has enjoyed a breakthrough season, becoming the first Frenchman to qualify for the ATP Finals since Gaël Monfils in 2016.

The 22-year-old claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati, defeating Frances Tiafoe in the championship match.

Fils also won the Barcelona title and reached the semi-finals at three Masters 1000 tournaments during the season.

He will make his first appearance at the ATP Finals after climbing into the world’s Top 10.

Frances Tiafoe — United States

Frances Tiafoe secured his first ATP Finals qualification following the most successful season of his career.

The American won the Halle title and reached the finals in Cincinnati and Acapulco.

He also advanced to the US Open semi-finals for the third time.

Tiafoe secured his place in Turin when Ben Shelton defeated Tommy Paul in the Paris Masters quarter-finals on November 6.

Together, Tiafoe and Shelton will attempt to end the United States’ long wait for an ATP Finals singles champion. Pete Sampras was the last American to win the tournament, in 1999.

Rafael Jódar — Spain

Rafael Jódar is perhaps the most surprising name on the 2026 ATP Finals entry list.

The young Spaniard was ranked No. 166 in the world just one year ago, when he was competing in college tennis at the University of Virginia.

Jódar participated in the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals after previously serving as a practice partner at the 2024 event.

He has now become the first player since Carlos Alcaraz to qualify for the ATP Finals the year after competing at the Next Gen ATP Finals.

His qualification was confirmed when Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the Rolex Paris Masters quarter-finals.

Jódar joins Alcaraz in giving Spain two direct singles qualifiers for the first time since Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer in 2015.

ATP Finals 2026 Doubles Entry List

The 2026 ATP Finals doubles entry list was completed on November 4 when Brazilian pair Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos secured the final qualification position.

Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos

The Spanish-Argentine team has qualified for the seventh consecutive ATP Finals.

Their 2026 achievements include winning the Roland Garros doubles title, while their best result in Turin came when they reached the 2023 final.

Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić

The Salvadoran-Croatian partnership returns for its third consecutive ATP Finals appearance.

They reached the championship match in Turin in 2024 and will attempt to win the title for the first time together.

Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori

The all-Italian team will enjoy strong home support in Turin.

Bolelli and Vavassori won three titles in 2026, including ATP Masters 1000 events in Miami and Rome. They also reached the semi-finals at last year’s ATP Finals.

Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz

The German partnership returns to the ATP Finals as the 2024 champions.

Krawietz and Pütz won the Monte-Carlo Masters doubles title and reached the US Open final in 2026.

They will attempt to capture their second ATP Finals championship together.

Théo Arribagé and Albano Olivetti

The French pair will make their ATP Finals debut following a highly successful season.

Arribagé and Olivetti collected six ATP Tour titles in 2026, winning three ATP 500 tournaments and three ATP 250 events.

Their titles included Auckland, Montpellier, Dallas, Halle, Mallorca, and Basel.

Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos

They won consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles in Montreal and Cincinnati, alongside tournament victories in Buenos Aires and Santiago.

The pair will make their first appearance at the season-ending championships.

ATP Finals 2026 Withdrawals and Alternates

Jannik Sinner Will Miss the Tournament

Jannik Sinner is the most notable absentee from the 2026 ATP Finals.

The Italian qualified earlier in the season but will not compete because of injury.

Sinner won the ATP Finals singles title in both 2024 and 2025, defeating Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 in last year’s championship match.

His withdrawal means the tournament will crown a new singles champion in 2026.

The Italian finished second in the Race to Turin standings despite ending his season early.

Singles Alternates

Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz have been reported as the next players available in the qualification order.

Alex de MinaurAustraliaReported alternate
Taylor FritzUnited StatesReported alternate

Their formal alternate appointments remain subject to official confirmation.

Alternates can enter the competition if a qualified player withdraws or cannot complete their scheduled matches, subject to ATP tournament regulations.

No further withdrawal from the confirmed eight-player singles field had been officially announced as of November 11.

Four Players Set for ATP Finals Debuts

One of the defining characteristics of the 2026 ATP Finals is the number of first-time competitors.

Four of the eight singles participants will make their tournament debuts:

  • Flavio Cobolli — Italy
  • Arthur Fils — France
  • Frances Tiafoe — United States
  • Rafael Jódar — Spain

Their participation highlights the arrival of a new generation of players at the top of men’s tennis.

It also creates an interesting contrast with former champions Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev, who bring considerable experience to the field.

Jódar’s rapid progression from college tennis to the ATP Finals is particularly remarkable, while Fils and Cobolli have established themselves as leading players following breakthrough seasons.

ATP Finals 2026 Draw and Groups

The official ATP Finals 2026 draw will take place on Thursday, November 12, at 12:00 p.m. CET, ahead of the tournament’s opening matches.

How Does Qualification for the ATP Finals Work?

The Nitto ATP Finals uses a qualification system based primarily on players’ results throughout the ATP Tour season.

The season-long PIF ATP Race To Turin determines the players who qualify for the year-end championships.

In general, the leading seven eligible players qualify, while the eighth position can depend on the special qualification rule for a Grand Slam champion ranked between eighth and twentieth in the Race. Otherwise, the next highest-ranked eligible player takes the remaining position.

The doubles competition uses the ATP’s season-long team qualification standings.

Unlike most ATP Tour tournaments, the ATP Finals does not operate as a traditional knockout competition from the opening round.

Round-Robin Format

Each singles player and doubles team competes in a group of four.

Every participant plays three round-robin matches, with the top two players or teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals.

The semi-final winners then compete for the championship.

An undefeated champion can earn a maximum of 1,500 ATP Rankings points.
