The draw for ATP Finals has been made on Thursday morning, with all eyes set on the last duel between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner: Sinner has to win everything to maintain his World No. 1 status, while Alcaraz would have to win at least three games (in the case Sinner wins everything, which seems likely) to recapture World No. 1 title).

This competition pits the best eight players of the season, with the final place still undecided (it would be Felix Auger-Aliassime unless Lorenzo Musetti wins the Hellenic Championship this weekend).

The competition consists on three group stage games, semi-finals and the final. After the draw, these are the groups (Sinner and Alcaraz would never meet until a potential final, as they are the top seeded players):

Jimmy Connors Group

Carlos Alcaraz (1)
Novak Djokovis (4)
Taylor Fritz (6)
Alex de MiƱaur (7)


Bjorn Borg Group

Jannik Sinner
Alexander Zverev (3)
Ben Shelton (5)
Felix Auger-Aliassime or Lorenzo Musetti (8)
