Alcaraz To Face Djokovic In ATP Finals Group Stage

Carlos Alcaraz has been paired with Novak Djokovic in the group stages of the ATP Finals.

Reigning Australian, French and US Open champion Alcaraz has been paired with seven-time ATP Finals winner Djokovic, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur in Jimmy Connors Group.

Defending champion Jannik Sinner will play Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton and either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti in Bjorn Borg Group.

Musetti will seal his qualification as eighth seed at the expense of Auger-Aliassime if he wins this week’s Hellenic Classic in Athens.

The top eight men’s players in the world descend on Turin for the end-of-season tournament which begins on November 9 with three round-robin group matches.

The top two from each group advance to the semi-finals, where the group winners face the runner-up from the other group, before the winners advance to the final on November 16.

The total prize money for the 2025 ATP Finals is £11.8million ($15.5m), with the champion scooping £3.87million ($5.1m) if they stay unbeaten like Sinner did in 2024.

The ATP Finals is the season-ending championship of the ATP Tour.

It is the most significant tennis event in the men’s annual calendar after the four majors, as it features the top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams based on their results throughout the season.

It is scheduled to run from 9 to 16 November 2025. It is set to be played on indoor hard courts at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy for the fifth consecutive time.
