The groupings for the ATP Finals have been announced, with the final spot still undecided.

On the evening of November 6th Beijing time, the singles and doubles groups for the 2025 Turin ATP Finals were revealed. The event will take place from November 9th to 16th, featuring a record prize pool of $15.5 million, with an undefeated singles champion set to earn $5.071 million.

Defending champion Sinner

The final eight singles spots for this year's ATP Finals remain undecided. If Musetti wins the ATP Athens tournament this week, he will surpass Auger-Aliassime in the race for the eighth position and secure the last qualification spot. If Musetti does not win, Auger-Aliassime will claim the final berth. Additionally, it remains uncertain whether confirmed qualifier Djokovic will participate.

Review of the singles quarterfinalists' season

Alcaraz

Alcaraz secured his first year-end Finals spot early during this year's Wimbledon, marking his fourth consecutive appearance. His best result was reaching the semifinals in 2023 (he missed the 2022 event due to injury). This year, he won two Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros and the US Open, reached the Wimbledon final losing to Sinner, won three Masters titles in Monte Carlo, Rome, and Cincinnati, and claimed three ATP 500 titles in Rotterdam, Queen’s Club, and Tokyo.

Sinner

Sinner is also making his fourth ATP Finals appearance. Last year, he won the title without dropping a set on home soil and aims to defend it this year. After winning the Australian Open, the Italian faced a three-month suspension before returning at the Rome Masters (losing the final to Alcaraz). He then reached the French Open final but missed three match points against Alcaraz. Sinner bounced back on grass by winning Wimbledon, though he was defeated twice by Alcaraz in the Cincinnati and US Open finals. He ended the year strongly by winning three Masters titles in China Open, Vienna, and Paris.

Djokovic

Djokovic has qualified for the ATP Finals for the 18th time, tying Federer for the most appearances in history. Since his debut in 2007, he missed only the 2017 Finals. He has won this event seven times. Although he did not win a Grand Slam this year, Djokovic reached the semifinals of all four majors, maintaining top competitiveness. He also achieved a milestone by winning his 100th career title in Geneva this May. His participation remains uncertain, with a decision expected after the Athens tournament this week.

Zverev

Zverev is making his eighth appearance at the ATP Finals, having won the title twice in 2018 and 2021. This year, he reached the Australian Open final (losing to Sinner), marking his third Grand Slam final. His season highlights include winning the Munich title in May, back-to-back semifinals at the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters, and reaching the semifinals in Paris.

Fritz

Fritz is appearing at the ATP Finals for the third time, having advanced from the group stage in his previous two appearances. Last year, he finished runner-up to Sinner. He led the US team to victory at the United Cup early this season and performed strongly on grass, winning titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne and reaching the Wimbledon semifinals. Additionally, he made the semifinals at the Miami and Toronto hard court Masters events.

Shelton

Shelton is making his ATP Finals debut and joins fellow American Fritz, marking the first time since 2006 (with Blake and Roddick) that two American players have qualified for the singles year-end event. Shelton has had his best season yet, reaching the Grand Slam semifinals for the second time at the Australian Open, breaking into the top 10 during grass season, and winning his first Masters title in Toronto in August, a major career breakthrough.

Deminor

Deminor has qualified for the second consecutive year. The Australian has been consistent this season, winning the Washington title in August, finishing runner-up in Rotterdam, and reaching the semifinals in Monte Carlo, China Open, and Vienna. He also made the quarterfinals at both the Australian and US Opens. Deminor was the first Australian to qualify for the ATP Finals since Hewitt in 2004 but went winless in last year’s group stage. He aims to secure his first Finals match victory this year.

Auger-Aliassime

Musetti

The final spot will be decided between Auger-Aliassime and Musetti. Auger-Aliassime has won three titles this year in Adelaide, Montpellier, and Brussels, and reached the US Open semifinals and Paris Masters final. Musetti’s points mainly come from the clay season; he reached his first Masters final in Monte Carlo (losing to Alcaraz), made the semifinals in Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros, reached the US Open quarterfinals, and was runner-up in Chengdu.
