2022 ATP Finals: When does it take place, venue, players in the draw, prize money, TV and streaming info

The 53rd edition of the ATP Finals takes place in Turin and we give you the lowdown of the important things ahead of the season-ending event.

What is the ATP Finals?

The prestigious ATP Finals is the season-finale for the men’s tennis season and is the biggest tournament on the calendar after the four Grand Slams. The top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams receive entries into the event.

This year marks the 53rd singles edition while it will be the 48th that the doubles have been part of the tournament. The first-ever Finals was held back in 1970 and it went by the name of Masters Grand Prix before being renamed the Tennis Masters Cup, then the ATP World Tour Finals and finally the Nitto ATP Finals (thanks to its sponsor).

When will this year’s tournament take place?

The ATP Finals starts on November 13 with the singles and doubles finals taking place on Sunday November 20.

The singles finals was initially scheduled to start at 16:00 GMT, but was pushed back to 18:00 to avoid clashing with the FIFA World Cup opening match in Qatar. The doubles final gets underway at 15:00 GMT.

What about the venue for this year’s tournament?

Turin’s Pala Alpitour, the largest indoor arena in Italy, hosted the event for the first time last year – replacing London’s O2 Arena, and its contract runs until 2025.

It cost €87 million (£75m) to build and opened its doors in 2005, hosting the likes of Lady Gaga, U2, Ed Sheeran, Madonna, Rihanna and Green Day since then. It has flexible stands can hold up to 16,600 spectators, but only 12,000 seats are available for the ATP Finals.

Tell us more about the format, please…

Unlike other tennis tournaments that are straight knockout events, the ATP Finals starts off with a round-robin phase as the eight singles players and eight doubles teams are divided into two groups.

The players/teams who finish in the top two of each group qualify for the semi-finals with qualifier one in one group taking on qualifier two from the other group.

Naturally, the winners qualify for the finals.

The final standing of each group is determined by the first of the following methods that apply: a) Greatest number of wins; b) Greatest number of matches played (2-1 won-loss record beats a 2-0 won-loss record; a 1-2 record beats a 1-0 record) c) Head-to-head results if only two (2) players are tied.

If three players/teams are tied, a very complicated formula is applied, but that’s very rare.

Who are the eight players/teams who have qualified for the 2022 edition?

World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz was the first player to qualify, but the Spaniard will have to wait to make his debut as an abdominal injury forced him out of the season-ending tournament.

It means Rafael Nadal will be the top seed in Turin, but there are also doubts over his participation as he is not fully match fit.

But for now he is in the draw along with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz.

American Fritz was initially an alternate, but he booked a ticket into the main draw after Alcaraz’s withdrawal. It means Holger Rune and Hubert Hurkacz are the alternates.

As for the doubles, Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski are the top seeds and they are followed by Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury; Marcelo Arévalo and Jean-Julien Rojer; Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic; Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek; Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliövaara; Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos; and Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios.

The roll of honour so far…

The first edition was won by Stan Smith in 1970 and the who’s who of men’s tennis have collected the title since as Ilie Năstase, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have all won the title.

The one name missing from the list is Rafael Nadal as his best performances are a couple of runners-up spots.

Federer holds the record for most titles (6) with Djokovic, Sampras and Lendl on five. McEnroe and Peter Fleming holds the record for most doubles titles with seven while Mike Bryan won five titles and Bob Bryan four.

Alexander Zverev is the reigning champion, but he won’t defend his title as he missed the bulk of the season due to an ankle injury sustained at the French Open.

The doubles defending champions Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut will also not be in Turin as they are no longer a team.

When does the draw take place?

The draw is usually a fancy event as it takes place on the Friday before the tournament starts.

The pots for the draw are as follows: 1. Nadal, Tsitsipas 2. Ruud, Medvedev 3. Auger-Aliassime, Rublev 4. Djokovic, Fritz

What about points and prize money?

If a player wins the tournament undefeated he will collect 1,500 ranking points while an undefeated champion will walk away with a $4,740,300 cheque – the biggest winner’s prize money in tennis.

Points are awarded as follow for the singles and doubles: – 200 points for a win in the round robin – 400 points for a semi-final win – 500 points for winning the final

Singles prize money: – Alternate $150,000 – Participation Fee $320,000* – Round-robin match win $383,300 – Semi-final match win $1,070,000 – Final win $2,200,400 – Undefeated champion $4,740,300

The participation fee works as follows in the singles: 3 matches = $320,000 2 matches = $240,000 1 match = $160,000

Doubles prize money: – Alternate $50,000 – Participation Fee $130,000* – Round-robin match win $93,300 – Semi-final match win $170,000 – Final win $350,400 – Undefeated champion $930,300

Participation fee for the doubles: 3 matches = $130,000 2 matches = $97,500 1 match = $52,000

Which TV channels and streaming services will broadcast the tournament?

Amazon Prime Video has the exclusive broadcasting rights for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Don’t forget, new customers can sign up for £8.99 a month, and are eligible for a free 30-day trial.

ATP Finals 2022: Schedule, How to Watch on TV and Live, Venue, Seeds

The highly awaited ATP Finals 2022 is finally here. The most significant event in the ATP Tour calendar just began this Sunday, November 13 th .

The international top tier tennis tour, the ATP Tour, comes to an end every year ATP Finals. It is a men’s only event that includes both singles and doubles competitions. The event’s upcoming incarnation, in 2022, will mark its 53 rd running. The ATP Finals singles will feature eight of the best players in the world, while the ATP Finals doubles will feature eight teams of two players each.

The competition’s initial top seed was Carlos Alcaraz, the current world number one. But he withdrew from the competition due to an unexpected injury and exhaustion, ending his season pretty early.

Currently, the 1 st seed of the event is tennis star Rafael Nadal. The Spanish legend is currently ranked 2 nd in ATP Singles leaderboard. With two grand slam (Australian Open and French Open) he had an incredible season so far. In addition, he grabbed the Acapulco Open and Melbourne Open too.

Greek youngster, Stefanos Tsitsipas is the second seed of the ATP Finals 2022. He is currently ranked 3 rd in the ATP singles leaderboard. While he didn’t achieve much like the other leads, Tsitsipas had a solid run this season. Unfortunately, his performance at the majors wasn’t that great this year. He earned his career’s first title on grass at the Mallorca Open.

Casper Rudd, the Norwegian professional is the 3 rd seed of this year and 4 th position holder of the present ATP singles leaderboard. He was a finalist in the French Open and US Open this year. Additionally, he reached his career-best 2 nd a round at Wimbledon. In September, Rudd reached his career-highest 2 nd position in the ATP singles rankings.

Novak Djokovic beats Casper Ruud 7-5, 6-3 to clinch sixth ATP Finals title – as it happened

Novak Djokovic equalled Roger Federer’s record of six ATP Finals titles after a 7-5 6-3 win over Casper Ruud in Turin

• 20 Nov 2022 Novak Djokovic beats Casper Ruud 7-5 6-3 to win the ATP Finals! He equals Roger Federer's record of six titles!
• 20 Nov 2022 Preamble

Righto, that is us; thanks for your company. Enjoy what’s left of your weekend, and stick with us for the obscene quantity of sport we’ve got for you over the next week. Peace out.

Now here comes Djokovic, and he holds aloft the trophy as the indoor fireworks and tickertape do their thing – how did we cope before their invention? Anyhow, Djokovic tosses in some Italian, of course he does, before congratulating Ruud and his team saying his work-ethic is inspirational to him and lots of others around the world. Decent praise, that, and he says Ruud and his team are nice people, respectful to everyone, and he probably hoped he could win one of his three big finals, but getting to them is a big achievement and he’s still young, so should win some soon.

Djokovic then thanks his team – his parents and brothers who aren’t with him – and it’s been a tough year, during which they’ve all helped him. Only his family know what they’ve all been through, they’ve given him strength, and the trophy is as much theirs as his. He can’t match Ruud’s speech, he chortles, thanking Nitto too, then talks about how hard and long the season is before switching to Italian, thanking the crowd for their passionate support, this year even better than last.

Oh, he’s not finished, he wants to thank tennis fans around the world, praises the Turin atmosphere, and hopes the wait to get to Australia won’t be too long. What a nice boy. Ah, and he thanks “my beautiful girlfriend Maria,” who looks extremely bashful; he thanks her for her waiting around, her patience, and looks forward to being “a normal person” for a few weeks before he has to go to Oz.

Ruud collects his runner-up’s plate, and congratulates Djokovic and his team. He can’t imagine how hard the year’s been for him, and says his hat’s off, which it is – but not, I don’t think, for that reason. Djokovic appreciates being appreciated, then Ruud thanks his own team who help and motivate him every day – he’s had a year of many big highs – some lows too – and he’s already looking forward to the next one. Finally, he thanks the sponsors, saying this is one of the best tournaments to play, and hopes Nitto stay as sponsors for many years to come, thanking them in Japanese, then the ball kids and volunteers who make the players feel like kings, which he says is very nice.

Respect to Ruud, who’s had a great year – I didn’t expect him to get this good this fast – but he just couldn’t create chances today, and couldn’t cope when Djokovic turned it up.

He says in finals, matches tend to be decided on small margins, a break in each set here. Both players served well, he says, and the key game, the 12th of the first set, he managed to put a few returns back in play and be aggressive from there. He felt nervous at 30-all in the final game, and the fact he’s had to wait seven years since last winning this makes is extra sweet. He’s looking forward to a couple of weeks off as he’s spent the year “on the needles” waiting to hear about where he’s able to play, and I’d wager he’s a at least another four or five slams in him.

In the back of my mind lurks memory of Medvedev whacking Djokovic in the US Open final last year, but I can’t see how anyone but him wins Australia in January. Fit, settled him on a hard court is close to unbeatable, and he is for mine, the best player in the world by far.

Djokovic celebrates with his kids, then his team, then his wife, and he is, for my money, the best there’s ever been. His has no weaknesses and, more than that, he has that ability to do whatever his opponent least wants him to do, and key moments. I’ve never seen an athlete like him in tennis – he’s not the best mover, but in terms of elasticity, whip and fitness, he’s in a league of his own.

Novak Djokovic beats Casper Ruud 7-5 6-3 to win the ATP Finals! He equals Roger Federer's record of six titles!

Ruud 5-7 3-6 Djokovic* Djokovic goes long with a forehand! He’s crumbling under the pressure! Pathetic! But an error from Ruud gives him 15-all and an overhead makes 30-15 … before Djokovic nets for 30s! He needs first serve, doesn’t get one so a sapping rally – 36 strokes, the longest of the match! – ensues, and you know how that go. Djokovic stays in it with exhibition ludicrous athleticism, eventually forcing Ruud to go long! Match point! AND HE FINISHES IT WITH AN ACE! HE EQUALS ROGER FEDRER’S SIX TITLES! HE IS A TOTAL JOKE!

*Ruud 5-7 3-5 Djokovic Come on Casper, at least make him serve for it. He does too, an ace out wide at 30-0 probably his best delivery of the match. So Djokovic inflicts a succession of booming forehands, Ruud then shanks one long … before slamming down a brave serve for the game. Djokovic will now serve to join Roger Federer on six titles!

Ruud 5-7 2-5 Djokovic* Djokovic’s lack of any serious weakness is just bizarre, and it means he can tailor his game to whatever his opponent wants to face least. Today, for example, he’s used his forehand, backhand and serve really well – by amazing coincidence, just as he did yesterday, and does almost every other day. As I type that, 40-15 becomes 40-30 and Ruud runs around his backhand to try and whack a forehand winner down the line. But he can’t get low enough – can you think of a man who can? – so loops it long. Djokovic is a game away!

*Ruud 5-7 2-4 Djokovic Ruud has gone from 77% serve-forehand to 34%, which tells you how ridiculously effectively Djokovic’s returns are finding his backhand. That said, Djokovic is only a break up in this set – though I’d not be surprised if he found another – and at 40-0, he retrieves with typical elasticity, then dashes in to flick a drop down the line as Ruud covers cross-court. And, well, Djokovic then clouts a backhand winner down the line, it’s called out, he challenges … and yup, it was in; 40-30 and nerves a-janglin’ so well done Ruud for disbursing a service winner for a crucial hold.

Ruud 5-7 1-4 Djokovic* Djokovic spanks a backhand down the line for 15-0 and he’s really turning it up now; that break point was converted partly because he forced his return onto Ruud’s backhand, his ability to mercilessly exploit an opponent’s weakness and at key moments absolutely vicious. Anyhow, at 15-all, Ruud thinks he’s in game and rally, so Djokovic murders a forehand winner down the line and this is currently not fair, a superhero against a mortal. Djokovic holds to 15, an overhead securing the consolidation with an exclamation mark, and this is just so, so good.

*Ruud 5-7 1-3 Djokovic Djokovic contorts into a low return and Ruud nets for 15-all, then Djokovic sticks a forehand into the backhand corner that forces a netted backhand. And, well, oh dear: Ruud serves well, comes in … and botches his volley. 15-40, and if Djokovic wins one of the next two points, you’d assume he wins the match with it … and he only needs the first, playing a brilliant point to dominate the rally from the back until Ruud can’t take any more and hits long! It turns out he’s quite good at tennis!

Ruud 5-7 1-2 Djokovic* I think Djokovic’s rig is emerald; it looks not unlike the kind of football top one might’ve worn playing Sunday league in the late-80s. Anyhow, he’s serving really well now, so when Ruud, who usually chips returns, changes his position, it makes no difference and 40-0 up, Djokovic comes in behind his first delivery and puts away a winning volley.

*Ruud 5-7 1-1 Djokovic Ruud accelerates to 40-0, and though Djokovic wins the next point, a backhand into the net gets the Dane on the board in set two.

Ruud 5-7 0-1 Djokovic* Ruud will be absolutely spewing; he was OK in that set, but Djokovic – now a set away from becoming this tournament’s, er, join most-winningest player – grew at clutch, as he shrank. In fairness, Djokovic always looked the likelier to make the breakthrough, and Ruud needs to change something because a quick hold puts him under immediate pressure.

*Ruud 5-7 Djokovic Djokovic returns and a net-cord forces Ruud wide; he nets. But Djokovic goes long off his next return for 15-all and a colossal, leaping forehand winner from centre to forehand corner makes 30-15. Djokovic, though, unfurls the forehand to send two cross-court, opening the space for a winner down the line. Djokovic is two points away from the set and when he can’t return Ruud’s next serve, he challenges .. and he’s right! He’ll climb into the second delivery – for which Ruud has to wait because the tech takes a while – and shonuff, Ruud then nets a backhand to hand Djokovic set point. And after a long rally, Ruud pinned in the backhand corner, he thrashes a backhand long, and that’s the set! Absolutely typical Djokovic!

Ruud 5-6 Djokovic* Djokovic zones a backhand slice down the line and when Ruud nets in response, he addresses a stern groan to himself. This inspires him next point – he gambles and picks the backhand side when behind in the rally, Djokovic does indeed go to that corner and he’s waiting to deflect a winner down the line. For all the good it does him, a big forehand followed by a big serve followed by an ace out wide giving him 6-5 and the DJ is properly on a 1990 tip! Makes sense – after all, 1990 is … time to move on.

*Ruud 5-5 Djokovic A booming delivery down the T sets Ruud away as he serves to stay in the set, then Djokovic wafts a backhand wide. Ruud does then net, but Djokovic – who’s been trying to get a steers off his team as regards where to stand when receiving – sends a backhand long and Ruud quickly closes out

Ruud 4-5 Djokovic* A love-hold for Djokovic, sealed with a high-kicking ace down the middle. He’s only lost four points on serve so far, Rudd has only lost six. The court is so, so quick.

*Ruud 4-4 Djokovic The DJ – yes, there’s a DJ, of course there’s a DJ, this is a tennis match – drops a bit of C&C Music Factory at change of ends. 1990 in the houuuuuuse! What a year of tunes that was, on which point I recently concluded that the Adamski version of Killer has the better track but the Seal version has the better vocal . Anyhow, at 30-0 Djokovic finds a big forehand then a volley, snatching into the next point by walking into a forehand return then really opening his shoulders until Ruud can’t take any more. 30-all, and he seems to have decided it’s time. Yes he has! A backhand cross-court from Djokovic catches Ruud at the net and rather than put away backhand volley, he tries to force a forehand, sending it well long; break point again. But a terrific second serve from Ruud, out wide, facilitates the forehand clean-up, then a big first serve allows another big forehand for advantage and from there, Ruud quickly secures the hold.

Ruud 3-4 Djokovic* Djokovic is serving pretty well here – both players are – but a good backhand from Ruud hauls him in and his sliced volley drops just wide. No matter: an overhead while backpeddling raises game point and an unreturned serve means he leads 4-3. Neither man is making much impression on the other’s serve currently.

*Ruud 3-3 Djokovic Ruud looks not unlike a McGann brother, and in the time it takes me to find that photo, he races to 40-0 before whamming a backhand winner down the line, hs new, more open racket-face making the difference.

Ruud 2-3 Djokovic* A terrific game from Djokovic, forcing the issue . He makes 40-0 with a fine volley at the net, then ends things with an ace. He’s shaking a little bit at change of ends, though, as he did against Medvedev the other day – he doesn’t quite look himself.

*Ruud 2-2 Djokovic Djokovic stretches for a volley and hurts his leg or knee as Ruud makes 15-0; a big serve follows for 30-0, then Djokovic swipes a return wide and another long. He’s not constructing points currently, rather trying to finish them.

Ruud 1-2 Djokovic* Djokovic spanks a forehand wide for 0-15 then, after a long, 25-stroke rally, he tries to finish it with a drop and nets! Djokovic, though, is getting his second serve going, and it helps him to 15-30, followed by a big first go out wide for 30-all. Another good first serve, down the T, makes 40-30, then a clean ace swerving away, and that’s four straight points quicksmart.

*Ruud 1-1 Djokovic at 15-0, we rally cross-court, backhand to backhand, then Djokovic punishes one down the line with glorious disguise for another clean winner. Then, when Ruud comes in, he can’t find a stop volley when the ball’s fired at him, his effort looping long – he’s yet to find a first serve – then he goes long again so now faces two break points. Again, he misses his first serve and Djokovic goes for it with a backhand down the line – he ought to make it too, but doesn’t – then a forehand earns Ruud deuce and he closes out really well. He’s into the match now.

Ruud 0-1 Djokovic* Djokovic nets a backhand for 0-15, but a netted forehand return gives him 15-all. An ace out wide follows – Ruud challenges fruitlessly – then can’t capitalise on a slow, kicking second serve, catching the a net cord that flicks the ball wide. A backhand winner down the line then ends the game, and Djokovic looks as strong as expected.

Righto, off we go!

He also thinks Ruud shouldn’t drop serve. I agree, I think dropping serve would be a poor tactic.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in the crowd; Greg Rusedski is pleased because he’s “obviously an AC Milan supporter”. Obviously.

Aurelie Tourte is umpiring – the first woman to preside over the final of this competition, so mazal tov to her. Djokovic wins the toss and will serve.

It is with deep regret that I tell you Djokovic is again wearing green that doesn’t match, with white socks and green Asics trainers. All that bunce, and for what?

Here come our players!

Mark Petchey points out that Ruud’s made huge improvements to his second serve this year, and he’s sending opponents out wide more often now, which allows him to get his big forehand into play sooner.

Djokovic has won this title five times, as have Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras. A win here takes him level with Roger Federer at the top of the roll of honour.

Aha, the telly coverage has started. Good.

I’ve just experienced a sugar craving, and in the absence from my home of anything I’d prefer, sneaked myself a Fruit Pastille ice lolly without my nine-year-old noticing. Ruud will need to show enterprise and daring of that ilk if he’s to win tonight.

Back to Ruud, at 23 he’s got lots of time to improve. It’s just hard to see how develops the weapons that mean he can win finals against players that already have them.

On the other hand…

Casper Ruud has reached the final in four of the seven biggest events in the calendar this year: French Open, US Open, ATP Finals, Miami. A pretty incredible achievement for someone who started the season without a single slam QF to his name. — Tumaini Carayol (@tumcarayol) November 19, 2022

Calvin Betton, our resident coach , emails in with his thoughts: “It’s a dull match up. Ruud is basically a C-list Djokovic. Competes great, makes a lot of balls, moves well. But Djokovic is better at every aspect, and I can’t see him not winning.”

Also going on…

Ruud strikes me as one of those players who’ll never be quite good enough to win a slam, because there’ll always be someone better – whether someone like Alcaraz, so someone with more ability, or someone random who happens to find the form of their life at the right time.

So, what on earth can Ruud do to beat Djokovic? Er, I don’t know. I guess he could follow the Stan v Nadal approach, which is attacking everything and hoping it’s his day. Or, conversely, Djokovic is principally a defensive payer, so if Ruud just gets everything back and tries to play to his backhand, maybe that works. Or maybe not.

I don’t want to get previous, people, but might we be at that point? You know the one I mean because we always suspected we’d get to to it eventually and it’s been teased for what seems like a decade, so: has Novak Djokovic outlasted the other two members of the big three? And if he has, is he going to spend the next couple of years monstering everyone and everything?

You can’t say he hasn’t worked for it. I remember hearing, quite some years ago, that every spare second – waiting for a cab, after a meal, speaking on the phone – he stretches to keep himself supple. It’s drive like that that means even at 36, I’d still back him to win any match.

Which isn’t to say we should write-off Rafael Nadal, who is to comebacks as a Tory administration is to U-turns. He’s probably got at least one more French Open in him, but it’s hard to see him taking any other majors and it wasn’t especially surprising that he didn’t escape the group in this tournament.

But that’s only the half of things. Worthy though Casper Ruud – and Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Taylor Fritz, and Andrey Rublev and Carlos Alcaraz and even Daniil Medvedev – are, none of them will ever be the greatest player we’ve ever seen, which is the standard at which Djokovic has been competing for the past aeon.

Which isn’t to say that Ruud, currently 0-3 in the head-to-head, can’t win tonight – he can. But for that to happen, he needs to produce close to his best tennis, while Djokovic needs to produce close to his worst – and both men know it. We shall see.

Start: 7pm local, 6pm GMT

Live streaming, ATP Finals 2022: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic chasing milestones in Italy

While Rafael Nadal is still eyeing his maiden ATP Finals title, Novak Djokovic will aim to equal Roger Federer’s record of six wins. Watch live!

The ongoing ATP Tour is all set for a wrap with the year-ending ATP Finals 2022 , scheduled to be held at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy, from November 13 to 20.

The season-ending men’s tennis championship features two separate tournaments - one for singles and one for doubles. Only the top eight-ranked singles players or doubles teams from the year qualify to play in the ATP Finals - which is often considered the biggest men’s tennis event on the ATP Tour after the four Grand Slams.

Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, the current world No. 1 in the world tennis rankings , will miss the season-ender owing to an abdominal injury, leaving countryman Rafael Nadal , Serbian ace Novak Djokovic , Stefanos Tsitsipas , Casper Ruud , Daniil Medvedev , Félix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev and Taylor Fritz to vie for the singles crown. Watch live streaming of ATP Finals in India.

Last year’s champion Alexander Zverev will also miss out after his season ended early after an injury during the French Open.

Rafael Nadal, who holds the record for the most number of Grand Slam titles (22), interestingly, has never won the ATP Finals title and will be looking for his first at Turin.

Djokovic, meanwhile, will be playing for his sixth ATP Finals trophy, which will tie him up with Roger Federer as the most successful player in the history of the tournament. Djokovic's last title, however, came way back in 2015.

Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas, 2019 winner, and Daniil Medvedev, who clinched the title in 2020, are the two other former champions in the fray this year.

This year’s ATP Finals singles event will also impact who ends the year as the world No. 1. While the 19-year-old Alcaraz, who became the youngest world No. 1 men’s singles player in history after winning the US Open title earlier this year, holds the perch currently, the young Spaniard may lose his position to Nadal, current world No. 2, if the latter manages to reach the final undefeated.

Tsitsipas can also leapfrog both Spaniards if he becomes an undefeated champion.

The format for the ATP Finals divides the players/teams into two groups - Red and Green. Each player/ team in a group play the others in a round robin format and the top two from each group after all the matches are over make the semi-finals.

The Netherlands’ Wesley Koolhof and United Kingdom’s Neal Skupski are the top seeds in this year’s doubles competition.

ATP Finals 2022: Players, teams and groups

Green Group : Rafael Nadal, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Taylor Fritz

Red Group : Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic

Green Group : Wesley Koolhof/Neal Skupski, Nikola Mektic/Mate Pavic, Ivan Dodig/Austin Krajicek, Thanasi Kokkinakis/Nick Kyrgios

Red Group : Rajeev Ram/Joe Salisbury, Marcelo Arevalo/Jean-Julien Rojer, Lloyd Glasspool/Harri Heliovaara, Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos

Rafael Nadal's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel, and more details | Italian Open 2024, 1R

Former World No. 1 Rafael Nadal will take on Zizou Bergs in the first round of the 2024 Italian Open.

Nadal has made a cautious start to the season so far and will make his fourth tournament appearance in Rome. He will enter the Italian Open on the back of a fourth-round finish in Madrid, where he lost to Jiri Lehecka in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4.

The Spaniard also participated in the Barcelona Open at the beginning of the clay court swing and chalked up a decent second-round appearance at the event. Despite a valiant effort against Alex De Minaur, he fell to the Australian in straight sets.

Nadal is one of the most successful players in the Italian Open and has lifted the trophy 10 times at the Forco Italico Sports Complex. He will be determined to make a significant impact on his 19th appearance at the event this year.

Where is Rafael Nadal playing?

Nadal will compete in the 2024 Italian Open, the season's fourth Masters 1000 tournament.

The total prize money for the men's singles competition is £5,509,771. Additionally, the winner in Rome will also receive 1000 points in the ATP Rankings.

Daniil Medvedev is the defending champion at the 2024 Italian Open. He outfoxed Holger Rune in the finals to lift the title last year.

Who is Rafael Nadal playing against?

Rafael Nadal will square off against Zizou Bergs in the first round of the 2024 Italian Open.

Bergs has played most of his tennis on the ATP Challenger circuit in 2024. He recently chalked up a title-winning run in the Tallahassee Tennis Challenger and also secured a runner-up finish in the Sarasota Open.

The Belgian has amassed three wins from seven matches on the main tour, including a second appearance at the U.S Men's Claycourt Championships in Houston. He outmuscled Patrick Kypson in the first round, but couldn't make his mark against Ben Shelton in the second.

Bergs will enter the Italian Open on the back of a first-round exit in the Madrid Open . Despite a spirited effort against Luca Van Assche, he fell to the Frenchman in two hours and 53 minutes, 6-4, 6-7(0), 6-1.

Tennis Briefing: Kasatkina ‘assurances’ on Saudi Arabia, Alcaraz defies injury

Welcome to the Monday Tennis Briefing, where The Athletic  will explain the story behind the stories from the last week on court.

This week, the coveted Masters 1000 in Madrid ran its first week and the stories on court were matched by the drama off it, as t he Grand Slams and tennis tours continue their beauty pageant for the future of the sport .

If you’d like more tennis coverage, please click here .

Can ‘assurances’ on player safety in Saudi Arabia ever be enough?

Daria Kasatkina, the highest ranked openly gay player in women’s tennis, was asked Sunday how she felt about the WTA opting to hold its Tour Finals for the next three years in Saudi Arabia, a country, where homosexuality is a crime that can be punished by death.

Only the top eight players qualify for the Tour Finals. Kasatkina is currently world No 11.

“Look, if I qualify, it means that I’m top eight in the world,” Kasatkina said after advancing to the round of 16 in Madrid. “It’s great news for me.”

Then she took a deep breath. “We see that the Saudis, now they are very into the sport. They want to develop the sport, and as long as it gives the opportunity to the people there and the young kids and the women, too, you know, we see that sport  and specifically tennis, it’s actually so close so that they can watch it. They can play, they can participate in this, I think it’s great.”

Asked how she thinks the environment would be for gay players and those in same sex relationships as she is, and whether she has received assurances about being able to perhaps, share a room with a partner, Ksatkina once more paused pensively.“I’ve been given assurances that I’m going to be fine,” she said.

Does it matter if Aryna Sabalenka wants to watch men’s tennis?

Sabalenka caused a bit of a stir last week when she told a Spanish media outlet that she doesn’t watch much women’s tennis and prefers the men’s game, saying it was more interesting. That wasn’t the kind of buzz the women’s tour is looking for from its top players.

Sabalenka clarified those comments after winning her first match in Madrid, explaining that sitting down to watch her opponents isn’t how she prefers to spend her free time.

“I play against all of them, and I just want to change the picture, and because I watch lots of women’s tennis before I go to the match, I watch my opponents, I watch lots of women’s tennis,” she said. “It’s not like I don’t like it or I try to offend what I do. I was trying to say that because I’m playing there and it’s too much for me, I’m trying to watch men’s tennis. It’s more fun than watching probably my future opponents in the tournament.”

A perfectly understandable explanation. Tennis, and watching it, is work for the top players in the world, men and women. Baseball players don’t watch much baseball in their free time.

(Full disclosure, this can be true for tennis writers, as well.)

It’s a sensitive topic around the tour, especially because it wasn’t long ago that Amelie Mauresmo, the French Open tournament director and a former world No 1, described men’s tennis as more appealing to justify her decision to let men dominate the tournament’s nightly featured match.

Women have enough of a problem with men degrading their sport. Fairly or unfairly — probably the latter — that forces them to be extra careful when talking about their favorite versions of the sport. No one gets on Daniil Medvedev or any other male player when they fess up to not watching their sport unless they are in the middle of a tournament.

Listening to women: The slow rise of female tennis coaches

Has an arm injury actually helped Carlos Alcaraz?

Few things worry the tennis world more than the health and wellbeing of Carlos Alcaraz. His magical play and dynamic style have captivated tennis fans and the rest of the sports-consuming public. He is one of those players who comes along not so often and transcends the game, providing an opportunity for tennis to break through the morass.

He also gets hurt a lot, and has missed some medium-sized chunks of his early seasons as a professional that have cost him a chance to play in important tournaments — the ATP Tour Finals in 2022 and the Australian Open in 2023 top that list.

Carlos Alcaraz is making magic again. Watch out.

So it was a little alarming when Alcaraz pulled out of Monte Carlo and Barcelona this month with an injury to his forearm. Competing in Madrid was touch-and-go until his final practice the day before his first match, which he played wearing a sleeve. His performance, a near-flawless 6-2, 6-1 win over Alexander Shevchenko of Kazakhstan, eased a lot of worries, but it also showcased another side of Alcaraz, who said he never went for broke on his cannon forehand to protect his arm.

“I hit it softer than I used to, but it helped me stay relaxed,” he said. “I think more.”

The data (below) shows that Alcaraz is hitting it softer (a three-mile-per-hour difference might not seem like much, but over 78 feet, it’s a lot) and with “less quality,” but he’s still winning.

Far be it for anyone to criticize the play of a two-time Grand Slam champion at 20 years old, but if there has been a weak spot for Alcaraz, it’s his tendency to sometimes play shots rather than points — especially when under pressure — and put together a highlight reel rather than simply win by playing solid, unspectacular tennis. If there is a silver lining to this latest injury, it could be that it forces Alcaraz to become a more restrained but more effective player, still with plenty of highlights to boot.

Two bagels for you Coco, you go Coco!

Coco Gauff has done many impressive things in her tennis career, but the so-called ‘double-bagels’ are generally not her thing. She’s come close before, most recently last year in the WTA Finals against a hobbled Ons Jabeur. With Gauff, though, there’s usually a time in every match when the forehand gets wobbly or the serve goes on the skids.

Then came Madrid, and an opening-round match against Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands. Fifty-one minutes and a 51-18 point differential later, and Gauff had her first double-bagel. In her second match, against Dayana Yastremska, Gauff sprinted to a 4-0 lead and looked like she might get three in a row, but settled for a 6-4, 6-1. Breadsticks are good fuel, too.

Gauff is as good an athlete as there is in the game and can play all night if she needs to, but every player likes to be as clinical as she can be wherever possible. If Gauff can figure out how to do that, especially in the early rounds of tournaments, the rest of the field better watch out.

Is the Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup crossover a good idea?

Legend of the sport Billie Jean King has long wanted a “Tennis World Cup ” — and now she’s got it… sort of.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) this week announced changes to the schedule and format of the annual event, creating a week of cross-over between the BJK Cup and the men’s equivalent, the Davis Cup, with the second semi-final and final of the women’s tournament overlapping the first two days of the men’s tournament in late November this year.

The women’s tournament has also moved to emulate the knock-out structure of its counterpart, replacing a round-robin finals with a straight shoot-out between eight of the final twelve teams. The four seeded nations — who, on current form, would be the Czech Republic and Australia, alongside 2023 winners and runners-up Canada and Italy — will receive a bye straight to the quarter-finals.

Rune and Navone have Madrid on strings

If Medvedev’s destiny is in his strings , then Holger Rune’s might be missing a weave.

During his unnecessarily up-and-down victory over rising Argentinian Mariano Navone, he came over to the umpire at 5-3 in his favor (although, a few minutes previously, it was 5-1).

“The tournament is trying to cheat me,” he said. “They missed a string on my racket.” He then pushed away a camera before repeating his complaint. It looked more like a cross-string had been mis-weaved, rather than missing an entire line.

Rune had been 5-6, 15-30 down on Navone’s serve in the second set, on the verge of exiting the tournament, before Navone tightened up to hit two yomping double faults and a backhand error that barely landed in the tramlines to give up a tiebreak. Rune surged away with it, and the next six games to go 5-1, but the racket incident destabilised him completely and he ended up needing five match points before prevailing 6-4 in a final service game that swung like a pendulum.

Stringing Navone along, perhaps.

Shots (fired) of the week

Alexander Bublik will do Alexander Bublik things whenever he wants. Roberto Carballes Baena isn’t a fan.

Lo que hace aquí Carballes Baena 🇪🇸 es para que le metan una buena sanción y no pueda pisar un torneo un buen tiempo. Se pica porque Bublik hace el tonto ( lo hace siempre ) y a continuación busca darle un pelotazo con su saque dos veces seguidas.

How to watch Italian Open 2024: live stream the tennis from anywhere, schedule, day 7

• Watch from anywhere

Following the exits of Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic, there were more shocks on Monday at the Italian Open as fourth seed Andrey Rublev lost to Alexandre Muller and fifth seed Maria Sakkari was defeated by Victoria Azarenka. There were no such problems for Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, Daniil Medvedev and Hubert Hurkacz who all progressed. 

Today in Rome there are some intriguing matches as Medvedev plays Tommy Paul, Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on Alex de Minaur, Swiatek faces Madison Keys and Gauff plays Qinwen Zheng. 

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the 2024 Italian Open tournament from anywhere with a VPN .

Running since 1930, the Italian Open is a prestigious event that regularly attracts the best players in the world and this year is no exception. Having skipped the Madrid Open , Novak Djokovic has chosen to play in Rome where he will be joined by long-time rival Rafa Nadal. The Spaniard reached the last 16 in Spain and showed signs of returning to his best in what is expected to be his final year on tour.

They will be joined by clay-court specialist Casper Ruud, world number five Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas who recently won the Monte Carlo Masters . However, there could be some major names missing from the draw as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner both have injury concerns, while defending champion Daniil Medvedev was forced to retire from his quarter-final clash in Madrid.

In the women’s draw, Elena Rybakina will be out to defend her title but will face plenty of competition as world number one Iga Swiatek is set to play in Rome and has been in superb form of late. Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka will be another huge threat, as will American sensation Coco Gauff.

Qualifying for the Italian Open starts on Monday, May 6 ahead of the main draw on Wednesday, May 8. As with the Madrid Open, the 32 seeds get a first-round bye so they enter the tournament in the second round.

Sky Sports  will be showing all the action from the Italian Open in the UK, so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels. The game will be shown on Sky Sports Tennis.

The 2024 Italian Open has arrived, following a bumpy few weeks that saw multiple injury-related upsets plague the ATP tour. Below, we'll break down everything you need to know about the 2024 tournament, including where to watch the Italian Open and when the can't-miss ATP and WTA matches air.

The Italian Open, or the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, will run until May 19. The tournament picks up following a spate of injuries on the ATP tour, including top players Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev. Alcaraz and Sinner will sit out the Italian Open, but Medvedev (who won the 2023 competition) has been able to participate. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic also took part in the competition, but they were both eliminated over the weekend.

Elena Rybakina, last year's women's victor, dropped out of the competition on Friday due to illness. Coco Gauff, Madison Keys, Qinwen Zheng, and world no. 1 Iga Świątek will all advance to the women's quarterfinals on Tuesday. If you're hoping to tune in, you've come to the right place. Keep reading to learn how to watch the Italian Open from anywhere in the world.

Where to watch the Italian Open in the US

All of the big ATP and WTA tour stops air on the Tennis Channel in the US. For cord-cutters, this means getting a live TV streaming package that carries the channel, like Sling TV. 

Sling TV will be the cheapest option for you today. You'll need to select a base plan (for $40 a month) and then add on a Sports Extra package (for $11 a month) to get the Tennis Channel. In total, this will cost you $51 a month, but Sling usually has a discount promo going that will shave some money off of new users' first month of service.

For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $20 off.

Where to watch the Italian Open in the UK

The Italian Open is available to watch through Sky Sports in the UK. Plans vary in price and contract length. In addition to ATP and WTA tour stops, subscribers can catch PGA competitions and several football championship matches.

Where to watch the Italian Open in New Zealand

New Zealanders can catch the women's matches live through TVNZ . This a free streaming option that only requires account creation to watch. Most later stages of other WTA tour stops can also be found on TVNZ.

How to watch the Italian Open from anywhere

If you won't be in the US during any of the must-see matches, you can keep up with your subscriptions via VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy ways to alter your device's location so that you can access websites and apps that might vary in availability on a regional basis. Plus, they're strong ways to boost your online privacy. This recommendation will be best for Americans who are traveling right now and looking to access their existing subscriptions since the services we outlined today require US forms of payment. However, later in the tournament, people can set their VPN to New Zealand to access the TVNZ live streams.

If you want to try out a VPN, our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN . In addition to being easy to learn, it offers a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review to learn more and keep reading to see how to use a VPN.

With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.

How to watch the Italian Open with a VPN

• Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
• Install it on the device you're planning to watch on.
• Turn it on and set it to a US location.
• Sign up for Sling TV + Sports Extra add-on with a US form of payment.
• Select the Tennis Channel and enjoy the competition.

Vorläufiger Kader der Nationalmannschaft Füllkrug, Führich, Koch und Havertz im deutschen EM-Team

Stand: 14.05.2024 13:11 Uhr

Und wieder sind drei Namen des vorläufigen Kaders für die Fußball-EM bekannt gegeben worden. Neben Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen), Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund), Aleksandar Pavlovic und Manuel Neuer (beide Bayern München) sind auch Niclas Füllkrug (Borussia Dortmund), Chris Führich (VfB Stuttgart), Robin Koch (Eintracht Frankfurt) und Kai Havertz (FC Arsenal) dabei.

Als fünfter Spieler kam Füllkrug am Dienstagmorgen (14.05.2024) wenig überraschend hinzu. Der Stürmer von Borussia Dortmund, der in der Bundesliga im Moment zwölf Tore auf dem Konto hat, traf im Nationaltrikot zuletzt recht regelmäßig und galt vor seiner Nominierung als gesetzt.    

Auch Chris Führich darf sich über eine Nominierung freuen - ganz schwäbisch beim Bäcker. Führich debütierte auf der USA-Reise der Nationalmannschaft im Oktober 2023 für die DFB-Elf. Die November-Spiele verpasste er anschließend wegen einer Erkrankung. Im März war er im Nagelsmann-Team aber bei den Tests in Frankreich (2:0) und gegen die Niederlande (2:1) wieder dabei. Mit dem EM-Ticket wird Führich auch für seine hervorragenden Leistungen beim VfB Stuttgart in dieser Saison belohnt. 

Koch könnte noch gestrichen werden

Robin Koch ist als vierter Innenverteidiger nominiert, könnte aber am Ende das fünfte Rad am Wagen sein. Die Berufung des achtmaligen Nationalspielers von Eintracht Frankfurt wurde in der YouTube-Show "World Wide Wohnzimmer" verkündet. Koch (27) ist noch bis zum Saisonende von Leeds United an die Eintracht ausgeliehen, im Anschluss besitzt er einen Vertrag in Frankfurt bis 2027. Da Antonio Rüdiger in der Innenverteidigung gesetzt ist und die Berufung von Waldemar Anton erwartet wird, könnte Koch oder eben der Stuttgarter Anton von Nagelsmann vor Turnierbeginn noch gestrichen werden. 

Havertz als Stürmer dabei

Kai Havertz kämpft mit dem FC Arsenal um den englischen Meistertitel, er spielt eine bärenstarke Premier-League-Saison - da war seine Nominierung für die Heim-EM das Gegenteil einer Überraschung: Sie war Formsache. Die Fußball-Influencer von Calcio Berlin durften sie verkünden. Havertz' Platz in der EM-Startelf scheint nach Irrungen und Wirrungen gefunden. Nagelsmann probierte ihn zunächst ohne Erfolg als Schienenspieler auf der linken Seite aus, dann stellte er ihn doch wieder in die Spitze, wo der 24-Jährige wohl zunächst den Vorzug vor dem "echten" Stürmer Niclas Füllkrug erhalten wird. Auch bei Arsenal spielt Havertz ganz vorne.

Nächstes Großturnier für Neuer

Am Montagabend war auch die Nominierung von Torhüter Manuel Neuer bekanntgeworden. Für Neuer ist es nach den Weltmeisterschaften 2010, 2014, 2018 und 2022 sowie den Europameisterschaften 2012, 2016 und 2021 das achte große Turnier.

Pavlovic neu mit dabei

Pavlovic hat zwei Einsätze in der deutschen U20 vorzuweisen. Für die A-Nationalmannschaft stand der defensive Mittelfeldspieler bislang noch nicht auf dem Platz. Der 20-Jährige spielt seine erste Saison beim FC Bayern und kam dabei 18 Mal in der Bundesliga und drei Mal in der Champions League zum Einsatz. Pavlovic hatte sich erst vor wenigen Monaten für die deutsche Nationalmannschaft entschieden. Er wäre auch für Serbien spielberechtigt gewesen.

Pavlovic war von Nagelsmann erstmals für die März-Länderspiele gegen Frankreich (2:0) und die Niederlande (2:1) berücksichtigt worden, konnte wegen einer Erkrankung aber nicht anreisen und wartet daher noch auf sein Debüt. Das könnte er nun in den EM-Tests am 3. Juni in Nürnberg gegen die Ukraine oder vier Tage später in Mönchengladbach gegen Griechenland feiern. 

Tahs Nominierung keine Überraschung

Auch die Nominierung von Jonathan Tah war erwartet worden. Der 28-Jährige spielt bei Bayer Leverkusen eine überragende Saison und wurde von Nagelsmann bei den erfolgreichen EM-Tests im März in Frankreich (2:0) und gegen die Niederlande (2:1) zum Stammspieler in der Innenverteidigung neben Antonio Rüdiger ernannt. Für die DFB-Elf bestritt er seit 2016 bislang 23 Länderspiele, bei einem großen Turnier kam er aber noch nicht zum Einsatz.

Acht Spieler bislang nominiert

• Manuel Neuer (Tor)
• Nico Schlotterbeck (Abwehr)
• Jonathan Tah (Abwehr)
• Robin Koch (Abwehr)
• Aleksandar Pavlovic (Mittelfeld)
• Chris Führich (Mittelfeld)
• Niclas Füllkrug (Angriff)
• Kai Havertz (Angriff)

DFB will weitere Namen vor Bekanntgabe des vorläufigen EM-Kaders mitteilen

Nagelsmann wird seinen vorläufigen Kader am Donnerstag (13 Uhr) in Berlin verkünden. Allerdings gibt der DFB bis dahin weitere Namen vorab über unterschiedliche Medien (Tagesschau, RTL, 1LIVE) und Influencer (Dachdeckerin Chiara, Altenpfleger Rashid Hamid) bekannt.

Damit soll einerseits die Vorfreude der Fans gesteigert und andererseits verhindert werden, dass die Namen der EM-Teilnehmer an die Medien "durchgestochen" werden.

BVB-Spieler kommen später Wegen Wembley - EM-Trainingslager ohne Dortmunder

Falls Julian Nagelsmann Spieler des BVB in den EM-Kader beruft, muss er im Trainingslager noch auf diese verzichten. mehr

Einige Positionen im EM-Kader sind weiter unklar. Bayern-Stürmer Serge Gnabry etwa erlitt beim Champions-League-Aus bei Real Madrid einen Muskelbündelriss im Oberschenkel . Er wird damit wahrscheinlich ausfallen.
