Preparations for the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals are in full swing. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner took to the Inalpi Arena’s centre court for a practice session with second-time qualifier Taylor Fritz on Wednesday.
The pair, who went head to head in this year’s US Open final, were the first to hit on the court as anticipation builds around the fourth edition of the season finale in Turin.

Sinner fell short to Novak Djokovic in last year’s championship-match clash in Turin, but will be eager to go one further this time around. The Italian clinched his maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, and did not look back in an emphatic year.
Fritz made the semi-finals on his debut appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2022. Now, after another stellar season, during which he reached his maiden major final, the American is back on the hunt in Turin.
DRAW CEREMONY
The draw is set to take place on Thursday 7 November at approximately 12:45 p.m. CET, following the pre-tournament press conference.
In recognition of the first No.1s in the PIF ATP Rankings, and the most successful doubles team in history, the singles groups for this year’s Nitto ATP Finals will be the Ilie Nastase Group and the John Newcombe Group, while the doubles groups will be the Bob Bryan Group and the Mike Bryan Group.
