SEASON FINALE: ATP FINALS 2024

 

 

The ATP Finals, taking place from November 10-17 in Turin, marks the season's climax for the world’s top eight men's tennis players, showcased live on Sky Sports Tennis. Italy’s Jannik Sinner, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, Germany’s Alexander Zverev, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, USA’s Taylor Fritz, Norway’s Casper Ruud, Australia’s Alex de Minaur, and Russia’s Andrey Rublev have qualified for this year’s event. Absent is defending champion Novak Djokovic, sidelined by injury.

 

 

Each player’s journey has shaped this final lineup. Jannik Sinner had a stellar year, securing his first Australian Open title, winning the US Open, and collecting three ATP 1000 titles. The 23-year-old Italian also became the inaugural Six Kings Slam Champion and reached several ATP 500 finals, though he faced some controversy over a failed drug test, attributed to accidental contamination.

 

 

Carlos Alcaraz continued his rise at 21, winning both the French Open and Wimbledon and securing an ATP 1000 title in Indian Wells. Despite some unexpected losses, including at the US Open and Olympics, he displayed resilience by defending his Wimbledon title and capturing the China Open.

 

Alexander Zverev made the French Open final, an ATP 1000 win in Rome, and semi-final appearances at various Grand Slams. Daniil Medvedev, despite making another Australian Open final, endured a silverware-less season and saw near-misses in both the Wimbledon and US Open. Taylor Fritz enjoyed a breakout year, reaching his first Grand Slam final at the US Open and winning the Eastbourne International.

 

Casper Ruud had a mixed season, highlighted by a French Open semi-final appearance and five ATP finals, though he struggled in other major tournaments. Andrey Rublev reached the Australian Open quarter-finals and claimed his second ATP 1000 title in Madrid. Alex de Minaur showcased consistent improvement, reaching three Grand Slam quarter-finals and winning the ATP 500 Mexico Open and Rosmalen Grass Court Championships.

 

The tournament is hosted at Turin's Inalpi Arena, Italy’s largest indoor sporting venue, continuing the ATP Finals’ legacy in major cities worldwide. This year's ATP Finals promises high-stakes matches, as each player aims to cap off a demanding season with a prestigious title.
