Here’s everything you need to know about the season-ending 2023 ATP Finals
The ATP Finals marks the grand finale of the annual ATP Tour schedule, coming after the four major tennis championships.
It holds a significant position in men’s tennis, being considered one of the most crucial events. This tournament brings together the best eight singles players and doubles teams, chosen based on their performance throughout the season. If needed, the eighth spot is reserved for a player or team who has won one of the major tournaments during the year and is ranked between ninth and twentieth place.
This tournament distinguishes itself with a unique format not seen in other ATP Tour events. Participants are grouped into two sets of four, and every player or team competes in three round-robin matches within their assigned group. After this initial phase, the top two players or teams from each group advance to the knockout stage, which includes semifinals and a final match to determine the ultimate champion.
The tournament has its roots dating back to 1970, although it was originally under a different name. Notably, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic hold the record for the most singles titles, each boasting six victories, while Peter Fleming and John McEnroe share the record for the most doubles titles, both with seven wins. Looking forward, the 2023 edition is set to occur at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy, spanning from November 12 to November 19, 2023. This marks the 54th edition of the tournament (49th for doubles) and the third time Turin has hosted the ATP Tour year-end championships.
