It’s almost time for the last tournament of the men’s tennis circuit to be played in the 2025 season, las ATP Finals (November 10 to 17). And this Thursday (12:45) the draw will take place in Turin of the groups in which the eight best players of this course will play, among whom, voluntarily, will not be Novak Djokovic, who has resigned from participating. It can be followed live, from the official website of the most exclusive event of the year.
The great attraction of the draw is knowing if Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will play in the same group. A possibility that will arise as the Spaniard has lost a position in the ranking at the Paris Masters 1,000, from second, now occupied by Alexander Zverev, to third. Because only the first two seeds are separated in the ‘pots’ and cannot coincide. So Sinner will be the leader of one and Zverev, of the other.
Nothing is final
As it is, luck may deprive viewers of a final between the two competitors who have shared this year’s Grand Slam titles, two each. Although it would not necessarily be the case, if both qualify for the semifinals, even if they are placed in the same group. In fact, if they go their own way, they could face each other in the penultimate round. Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Alex de Miñaur (the only debutant) and Andrey Rublev are the rest of the participants in the Masters Cup.
Alcaraz arrived in Turin yesterday and trained for the first time this year on the fast track of the Inalpi Arena. His goal is to reach the final, after losing in the 2023 semifinals against the absent Djokovic. Sinner, who has been in the city for a few days, was one victory away from being champion, losing against the Serbian, who lifted the trophy for the seventh time, second in a row. Zverev, two-time winner (2018 and 2021) and recent winner at Paris Bercy, also starts as a favorite.
