The ATP Finals draw is set as Novak Djokovic takes on Jannik Sinner while Carlos Alcaraz will be tested against Daniil Medvedev.

The firm favourite for the ATP Finals crown is Novak Djokovic after the Serb won his last two tournaments at the US Open and Paris Rolex Masters.

Now Djokovic will look to use the momentum to win a record-breaking seventh ATP Finals as well as close in on the year-end world number one ranking for an eighth time.

Standing in Djokovic’s way in the Green Group is home favourite Jannik Sinner as well as Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune.

It’s unknown when Djokovic will play but the world number one will start his campaign against Holger Rune while Jannik Sinner and Stefanos Tsitsipas face off in the other match in the group.

As for the Red Group, Carlos Alcaraz leads the line-up although the Wimbledon champion could be in better form heading into the season-ending finale in Turin.

However Alcaraz will now look forward to competing at his maiden ATP Finals after being denied the opportunity last year due to injury.

Joining Alcaraz is hard court specialist Daniil Medvedev as well as Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev.

In the Red Group Alcaraz will begin his campaign against Zverev while Medvedev and Rublev do battle in the other group match.
