The ATP Finals will get underway this Sunday, with eight of the world’s best men’s players set to battle it out for the prestigious year-end title.

Seeded first in Turin this year is newly crowned world number one Alexander Zverev, who has enjoyed his best-ever season on the ATP Tour in 2026. The German, who won both Roland Garros and the US Open, headlines the John McEnroe group at the ATP Finals, which also features Ben Shelton, Rafael Jodar and Arthur Fils.

Meanwhile, the Ivan Lendl group is made up of second seed Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli and Frances Tiafoe. Former world number one Jannik Sinner would have appeared in front of a home crowd at this year’s ATP Finals, but is sidelined due to a knee injury that has kept him out of action since the Wimbledon final.

Jannik Sinner’s record against all eight finalists in Turin

After a loss to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinals and a quarterfinal exit at the Qatar Open, Sinner went on a remarkable winning streak. The Italian won five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome.

Throughout that run, Sinner dropped just three sets and completed the Sunshine Double (winning Indian Wells and Miami back-to-back) without conceding a set. Following an early exit at Roland Garros and his Wimbledon triumph, Sinner attempted to make a return to the tour, but ultimately decided to shut his 2026 season down to protect his body.

How many majors will Carlos Alcaraz win next year?

Sinner would have been bidding to win the ATP Finals for the third year in a row this season, and he may well have done so, considering his record against every member of the lineup. Sinner has not lost a match this year to any of the eight stars competing in Turin.

His sole meeting with Alcaraz came in the final of the Monte-Carlo Masters, where he overcame the Spaniard in straight sets to hoist the clay-court title and return to world number one. Sinner has faced Medvedev twice this year, once in the Indian Wells final and once in the Italian Open semifinals. Medvedev managed to take a set off Sinner in Rome, but could not find an answer for him in either match.

But Sinner’s most dominant record against any of the ATP Finals lineup is his one with Zverev. Sinner has beaten Zverev five straight times in 2026, and has conceded just one set across those bouts. Sinner defeated Zverev in semifinals in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo before triumphing over him in finals at the Madrid Open and Wimbledon.

Zverev won the first set in their Wimbledon final clash, but Sinner rallied to emerge victorious 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 to claim his fifth Grand Slam title and second straight at the All England Club.

Sinner is 1-0 at tour-level events in 2026 against each of Shelton, Fils, Tiafoe and Jodar, but has not faced Cobolli this year.
