Nitto ATP Finals 2025 Schedule of Play for Sunday, November 9th
Turin, Italy — November 8, 2025 — The curtain is set to rise on the most prestigious indoor tennis event of the year, as the Nitto ATP Finals 2025 releases the Order of Play for Day 1. The event, which runs from Sunday, November 9, to Sunday, November 16, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy, will immediately deliver a massive singles clash between top seed Carlos Alcaraz and Australia’s Alex de Minaur.
The Finals serve as the season-ending championship, featuring only the world’s best eight qualified singles players and eight doubles teams, all battling for the last title of the year. Unlike standard knockout tournaments, the ATP Finals uses a unique round-robin format, dividing participants into two groups of four. Each player or team must play three matches, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
A Record Prize Pool on the Line
The high stakes of this championship are reflected in the staggering prize money. The total prize money pool for the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals is a record $15.5 million. An undefeated singles champion stands to collect an unprecedented $5,071,000, with a round-robin match win alone earning a player $396,500.
Day 1 Schedule: Sunday, 9 November 2025
