ATP Finals Draw: Alexander Zverev in tougher group as Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev set for clash
The draw for the 2026 ATP Finals is out, with Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton and Daniil Medvedev learning their round robin opponents.
This year’s ATP Finals, which will be the 57th edition of the prestigious season-ending event, will be held from Sunday 15 November to Sunday 22 November.
The tournament has been staged on indoor hard courts at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy since 2021.
Jannik Sinner was the two-time reigning champion, but he withdrew due to a knee injury that has sidelined him since Wimbledon.
The eight qualifiers are: Alexander Zverev (1), Carlos Alcaraz (2), Ben Shelton (3), Daniil Medvedev (4), Flavio Cobolli (5), Arthur Fils (6), Frances Tiafoe (7) and Rafael Jodar (8).
Cobolli, Fils, Tiafoe and Jodar are all making their ATP Finals debuts.

Zverev and Medvedev are former champions, while Alcaraz was a runner-up last year, and Shelton made his debut in 2025.
World No 1 Zverev has been drawn with Shelton, Fils and Jodar in the John McEnroe Group — which is arguably the tougher of the two groups.
Alcaraz, the world No 3, is joined by Medvedev, Cobolli and Tiafoe in the Ivan Lendl Group.
Cobolli’s fitness is a concern as he has not played since retiring at the Vienna Open due to injury, while Tiafoe has won just two of his six matches since the US Open.
