Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter from Miami, and I’m super excited to dive into the latest news from the ATP Finals 2024 in Turin, Italy. This year’s tournament promises to be an epic showdown among the world’s top tennis stars.
The Nitto ATP Finals, which will take place from November 10 to 17, is the season-ending event for the highest-ranked singles players and doubles teams on the 2024 ATP Tour. This prestigious tournament has a rich history, dating back to its inception in Tokyo in 1970. For the fourth consecutive year, Turin’s Pala Alpitour stadium will host this grand event, featuring only the best eight qualified singles players and doubles teams[5].
Top Seeds and Favorites
The top seed for this year’s ATP Finals is none other than Jannik Sinner, who has been on fire this season. Sinner, the new world number one, has secured titles at several major tournaments including the hardcourt Slams, Miami, Rotterdam, Halle, Cincinnati, and most recently, Shanghai[1]. He’ll be joined by other top contenders like Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Taylor Fritz. These players have all had remarkable seasons and are looking to wrap up their campaigns on a high note.
Schedule and Match Timings
The tournament will feature a round-robin format with each player competing against the others in their group. The schedule for Day 1 is packed with exciting matches:

Head-to-Head Battles
One of the most anticipated matches on Day 5 is between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev.
