The rules of the ATP Finals

The eight “masters” will be divided into two groups of four. All matches will be played as a best of three sets The top two in each group will advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-final the first of group A will meet the second of group B and vice versa. In the event of equal wins in the round robin, they will look at each other in order to draw up the rankings the following criteria: direct matches, best percentage of sets won, best percentage of games won or, finally, position in the ATP ranking.

HOW DOES RACE WORK?

The top eight finishers of the ATP Race, plus two reserves, qualify for the ATP Finals. The Race is a ranking that takes into account the results obtained by individual players during the calendar year. The points, therefore, are those achieved from January 1st to today and not in the last 52 weeks as in the ATP ranking.

Thursday’s draw: here are the 4 brackets

Thursday at 3pm will be the first appointment circled in red because Sinner will know the opponents in the round robin. The blue, n. 4 in the world, will be in the second tier and is certain not to meet Medvedev in the group stage. Sinner will instead draw one between Djokovic and Alcaraz. In the event of passing the round, however, Jannik would not meet the “big” in his group in the semifinals. But be careful because, given the very high level, there is no shortage of fearsome opponents in the third (Rublev and Tsitsipas) and fourth (Zverev-Rune) tiers.

1^ fascia: Djokovic-Alcaraz
2^ fascia: Medvedev-Sinner
3^ fascia: Rublev-Tsitsipas
4^ fascia: Zverev-Runes
