The final tournament of the ATP Tour in 2025 is upon us as the eight highest-ranked players in the world gather in Turin for the Nitto ATP Finals. The distinguishing factor of the year-end championships is that there is no easy match or time to get into rhythm for anyone, because every duel is between established top-ten players.
As such, every day and every match of the tournament promises drama and a very high level of tennis. Like always, LWOT will bring you not only match predictions throughout the event but also a complete tournament guide.
Nitto ATP Finals 2025
Venue and Surface
The tournament will again be hosted at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, as it has been since 2021, with sold-out crowds of over 12,000 expected yet again.
The surface will be indoor hard courts, and historically, the courts in Turin have played on the faster side. They reward aggressive tennis and produce a high percentage of short rallies.
Line-up and Draw
The field is headlined by two modern all-time greats, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The status of Novak Djokovic’s participation in the tournament is still uncertain, but he remains in the draw as of today. The groups are as follows:
The year-end No.1 ranking is also on the line in this tournament between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The last time the top ranking was undecided this late in the season was in 2023, when Djokovic secured it at the expense of Alcaraz.
For the first time since 2006, the draw will feature two Americans: Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton. The two alternates for the tournament are currently Alexander Bublik and whichever of Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti does not make the main draw.
Tournament Format
The format is a round-robin with two groups of four players each. Every player will therefore compete in at least three matches, taking on every other member of their group once. At the end of the group stage, the top two players in each group will qualify for the semifinals, where the group winners face the runner-up from the opposite group.
The standings in the round robin are determined by the number of match wins. If two players finish with the same number of wins, their head-to-head match serves as the tiebreaker. If three players finish with the same number of wins, the percentage of sets won, then the percentage of games won, and finally the ATP ranking will be used as tiebreakers.
Prize Money and Ranking Points
The tournament has a staggering $15.5 million prize pool, with a potential ATP record of $5,071,000 available if a player wins the event undefeated. Every player receives a participation fee of $331,000, and each round-robin win awards $396,500.
The ranking point distribution is as follows:
- Each Round-robin win – 200 points
- Semifinal win – 400 points
- Final win – 500 points
Hence, an undefeated champion would earn an ATP single tournament record of 1,500 ranking points.
