The Nitto ATP Finals, played in Turin, Italy, will mark the end of the 2024 ATP season. Eight of the best players in the world are prepared to battle it out for the final big trophy, and paycheck, of the year. This year’s field features Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Alex De Minaur and Andrey Rublev. It’s a fun list of players, despite the fact that it doesn’t include Novak Djokovic. The 24-time Grand Slam champion is a little banged up and wants to make sure he’s healthy for the start of the 2025 season.
Regardless, this event is sure to be exciting, with Sinner and Alcaraz—who split this year's majors—in the mix. Not to mention Zverev, fresh off a title run at the Rolex Paris Masters, and who has been right in that top tier all year long.
The format of the event features two groups of four, and all of the players will play each member of their group once. The two players with the best records in each group will advance to the semifinals, where it then becomes a single-elimination tournament.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a quick look at the two groups. I’ll predict who I think will end up going to the semifinals, and dish out my favorite bet to win it all.
