Rafael Jodar walks into the Inalpi Arena on Sunday as the youngest player in the field and the draw hands him the top seed first. The 20-year-old Spaniard meets Alexander Zverev not before 2 p.m. in Turin (8 a.m. ET) in the opening singles match of the Nitto ATP Finals, which run from 15 to 22 November.
Zverev, the top seed and a two-time champion, leads their head-to-head 1-0. Jodar is in Turin one year after playing the Next Gen ATP Finals, and he is one of four players making their ATP Finals debut this week.
The week starts earlier, at 11:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. ET), with the doubles. Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten, the defending champions and top seeds, open against Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos.
Ben Shelton and Arthur Fils close Sunday in the evening session, not before 8:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET), in the second singles match of the John McEnroe Group. Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic play Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti before them, not before 6 p.m. (noon ET).
Alcaraz on Monday. Carlos Alcaraz starts his Ivan Lendl Group campaign against Frances Tiafoe on Monday, not before 2 p.m. (8 a.m. ET). He leads their head-to-head 2-1. On Friday he cut short a practice session with Flavio Cobolli on centre court because of an upset stomach, and said he had not been able to eat breakfast. He said afterwards that he was feeling better and was being careful with what he ate.
“Right now I am just taking care of my preparation and I am feeling good,” Alcaraz said in Turin on Friday. He is making his fourth appearance at the event and lost last year’s final to Jannik Sinner 7-6(4), 7-5. Since returning from a wrist injury in August he has won titles in Tokyo, Vienna and Paris.
Daniil Medvedev and Cobolli finish Monday in the Ivan Lendl Group, not before 8:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET). Monday’s doubles are Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos against Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori at 11:30 a.m., then Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski against Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, not before 6 p.m.
The daily pattern. Every round-robin day from Sunday to Friday has the same four slots: a doubles match at 11:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. ET), a singles match not before 2 p.m. (8 a.m. ET), then an evening session with doubles not before 6 p.m. (noon ET) and singles not before 8:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET). A “not before” time is the earliest a match can start; it begins later if the match before it runs long. Each player plays all three group opponents, and the top two in each group reach the semifinals under the round-robin tiebreak rules.
Semifinals and final. The semifinals are on Saturday 21 November: doubles at 12 p.m. (6 a.m. ET) and singles at 2:30 p.m. (8:30 a.m. ET), then an evening session with doubles not before 6 p.m. (noon ET) and singles not before 8:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET). On Sunday 22 November the doubles final is at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. ET) and the singles final at 6 p.m. (noon ET).
