ATP Finals 2026 Field: Who Qualified for Turin and Who Is Missing

The ATP Finals begin on Sunday, 15 November, and the eight-player field is set. Defending champion Jannik Sinner is missing, so the week has a different look. Here is who is playing and what to watch for.

ATP Finals 2026 field

The eight singles players are Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jodar. The tournament runs from 15 to 22 November at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, on indoor hard courts.

Sinner and Djokovic are out

Sinner, the two-time defending champion, will miss the event because of a knee injury. Novak Djokovic also failed to qualify, which happened for only the second time in 20 years. Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur travel to Turin as alternates.

Four debutants

Half the field is making its first appearance at the season-ending event: Cobolli, Fils, Tiafoe and Jodar. Jodar took the last place on 6 November after Alcaraz beat Fritz in the Paris quarter-finals. Zverev and Medvedev are the only former champions in the field. Zverev won in 2018 and 2021, and Medvedev won in 2020.

Rankings at the top

Zverev leads the Race to Turin with 9,350 points and has been world number one since 2 November. Alcaraz is next with 5,500 points, followed by Shelton on 4,920, Medvedev on 3,820, Cobolli on 3,680, Fils on 3,625, Tiafoe on 3,390 and Jodar on 3,234.

Format

The eight players are split into two round-robin groups of four. Each player faces the other three in his group, and the top two from each group go through to the semi-finals. The draw takes place on Thursday, 12 November, so the groups should be known soon.

Alcaraz against Zverev

The two stars have met 13 times, and Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 7-6. Zverev is still chasing a third title at the event, while Alcaraz is chasing his first.
