What is the ATP Finals?

The tournament features the year's top eight performing players. They're divided into two groups of four for the round robin stage. The top two players from each group advance to the semifinals and then battle it out for a spot in the final.

The ATP Finals is now in its fifth avatar. From 1970-89, it was known as the Masters Grand Prix. It was rebranded as the ATP Tour World Championships for the next decade. It underwent another change and was known as the Tennis Masters Cup from 2000-08.

From 2009-16, it was known as the ATP World Tour Finals, which has been shortened to ATP Finals while maintaining the same format. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic hold the record for most singles titles here with six.

Players

Carlos Alcaraz is the second seed at the 2023 ATP Finals.

Novak Djokovic is the top seed. He won three Major titles this year, including his record 24th crown at the US Open. He also won the Masters titles in Cincinnati and Paris.

Carlos Alcaraz follows him as the second seed. He claimed six titles this year, including his second Grand Slam trophy at Wimbledon. Daniil Medvedev is seeded third and qualified on the heels of his five titles and a runner-up finish at the US Open.

Jannik Sinner won his maiden Masters title at the Canadian Open. He also won titles in Beijing and Vienna last month and is in great form. The Italian is the fourth seed. Next is Andrey Rublev as the fifth seed. He also bagged his first Masters title this year, which was in Monte Carlo.

Stefanos Tsitsipas won just one title this season, but a string of consistent results, including an Australian Open final, ensured his qualification. He's seeded sixth this time. Alexander Zverev was on course to qualify for the ATP Finals last year too, but an injury cut short his season.

Thus, his streak of consecutive ATP Finals ended at five, but he's back again this year. Zverev won a couple of titles and reached the French Open semifinals, and is seeded seventh here. Holger Rune is seeded eighth and is set to make his ATP Finals debut.

The draw will be revealed on Thursday, November 9, at 3 pm local time.
