The Masters is the highlight of the tennis season, and this year Novak Djokovic could beat Roger Federer’s title record there. Presentation of the tournament.
Each season, the end-of-year Masters (or “ATP Finals”) decides between the eight best players in the world. This year, Novak Djokovic presents himself as the undisputed favorite at the Turin Masters: world number 1, winner of the last Grand Slam (US Open) and the last Masters 1000 (Paris-Bercy), undefeated since Wimbledon… Nothing seems to be able to stop the Serbian at this end of year. And if he wins this Turin Masters, he will become the most successful player in history in the tournament. He currently has 6 titles at the “ATP Finals”, like a certain Roger Federer. When “Nole” has the opportunity to beat the records of his illustrious elders, he rarely misses it.
Four Masters winners present
The eight qualified players are divided into two groups of four players, who will play against each other before the semi-finals and the final for the qualifiers. Novak Djokovic, Jannik SinnerStefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune find themselves this year in the “green” group, while Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev are in the “red” group. Unprecedented this year, half of the participants have already won the Masters: Novak Djokovic (2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2022), Alexander Zverev (2018, 2021), Stefanos Tsitsipas (2019) and Daniil Medvedev (2020).
