The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the men's tennis season as the ATP Finals 2025 get underway in Turin this Sunday. The prestigious tournament brings together the world's top eight singles players and doubles pairings for a final, high-stakes showdown.
Sinner Leads the Charge on Home Soil
All eyes are on reigning champion Jannik Sinner, who arrives as the firm favourite to lift the trophy for a second consecutive year. The Italian world number one has enjoyed a phenomenal season, reaching the final of every Grand Slam and clinching two major titles. His dominant form makes him an odds-on shot with most bookmakers, priced at 4/5 with Bet365 to win outright.
Sinner made history last year by defeating Taylor Fritz to become the first Italian ever to win the ATP Finals. He enters the tournament in exceptional form, having won three of the four tournaments he has played since the US Open. In that run, he has recorded multiple victories over fellow competitors Alex de Minaur, Alexander Zverev, and Ben Shelton.
The Challengers and Group Stage Dynamics
Novak Djokovic, who has qualified for a record-equalling 18th finals and holds a record seven titles, finds himself in the Jimmy Connors group alongside Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur. Sinner headlines the Bjorn Borg group with Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti, depending on the outcome of the Athens tournament this week.
Carlos Alcaraz is viewed by betting sites as the only realistic challenger to Sinner, with a best price of 23/20. However, the Spaniard has played only three tournaments since his US Open triumph, suffering a surprise early exit in Paris to Britain's Cameron Norrie. Djokovic and the rest of the field are considered outsiders, available at 19/1 or longer odds.
British Interest in the Doubles Competition
The doubles competition features significant British interest, with five of the sixteen qualified players hailing from the UK. The world number one pair of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool lead the charge in the Peter Fleming Group.
In the John McEnroe Group, the British pair of Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski are tipped for success. Salisbury is a two-time Tour Finals winner with his previous partner and, after finishing as runners-up in both the French Open and US Open finals this year, the duo are strongly fancied to win their group at 5/2 with Ladbrokes.
