After Novak Djokovic announced that he cannot compete due to injury, the Nitto ATP Finals 2024 draw is confirmed. Casper Ruud, Alex de Miñaur and Andrey Rublev secured the last three available places for the season-ending tournament, which will take place at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from November 10 to 17.
These three ATP Tour stars will join Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz.
Ruud returns to the year-end championship two seasons after achieving one of the best results of his career in this tournament. The Norwegian reached the final at the Nitto ATP Finals 2022 and this time he will make his third participation in this prestigious event.
De Minaur, meanwhile, will make his debut at the Nitto ATP Finals to become the first Australian player in the singles draw since former PIF ATP Rankings No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt reached the final in 2004.
Finally, Rublev qualifies for the fifth consecutive time to the season-ending tournament. After participating in the last edition in London, it has already had four presences since it is hosted in Turin.
This year the Nitto ATP Finals will have a prize money of $15.25 million, with a record prize of $4.8 million for the undefeated champion (if a player manages to win all five possible matches on the way to the title: 3 group stage, semi-final and final), the largest prize in the history of the circuit.
The president of the ATP, Andrea Gaudenzi, wanted to express that “many congratulations to all the players who have earned the right to fight for the last title of the season at the Nitto ATP Finals 2024. After an incredible year, the best players tennis players will be in Turin for what promises to be an unforgettable show. With the biggest prize on the men’s circuit at stake, as well as one of the most prestigious titles in the sport, this event is the definitive setting to put the icing on the cake of an exciting season.”
The eight players in the draw have previously qualified to compete in the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF. Sinner (2019) and Alcaraz (2021) are among the event’s former champions, while De Miñaur reached the final twice (2018-19), while Rublev was also a finalist (2017). It is also the first year in which all eight qualifiers are in their twenties since 2010.
Medvedev and Zverev are the two players present in the draw who already know what it is to win the Nitto ATP Finals. Medvedev won the season-ending tournament in London (2020), while Zverev won in both 2018 and 2021.
The doubles draw is also complete. Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic, Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos, Wesley Koolhof/Nikola Mektic, Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori, Max Purcell/Jordan Thompson, Rohan Bopanna/Matthew Ebden, Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten and Kevin Krawietz/Tim Puetz will fight for the title at the Inalpi Arena.
PAINTING CEREMONY
This will be the fourth edition of the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. The draw will take place on Thursday, November 7, after the pre-tournament press conference, which will take place at 12.00 pm CET.
In recognition of the first two No. 1s in the PIF ATP Rankings and the most successful doubles team, the singles groups at this year’s Nitto ATP Finals will be named after Illie Nastase and John Newcombe, while the doubles groups will be named Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.
