What Is The Nitto ATP Finals Format?
The ATP Finals is a tennis tournament with a round-robin format. This means the top eight players or teams are split into two groups, and each one plays three matches against the others in their group. They’re ranked by how well they do in these group matches. The players or teams with the best records move on to the semifinals.
Here’s how players or teams move ahead in their group:
- The number of matches they win.
- The number of matches they play.
- If they won against the other players or teams they’re tied with.
- The percentage of total sets they win.
- The percentage of total games they win.
- Their ATP ranking right after the final tournament of the year.
If there’s a tie between three players or teams, the rules about sets and games percentages and ATP rankings only come into play if they can’t break the tie by looking at head-to-head results.
The semifinals have the group winners playing against the second-placed teams from the opposite group. The winners of those matches play in the final to see who wins the tournament. All the singles matches are best of three sets, with a tie-break in each set. Doubles matches are two sets without advantages, and if needed, a match tie-break is played.
Who Qualified For The Nitto ATP Finals 2023?
Singles
In singles for the ATP Finals, eight top tennis players compete based on their year’s performance, with two extra players as backups. Here’s how they pick who gets to play:
- First, they choose the seven best players from the ATP Race to Turin, which ends on November 11, 2023.
- Next, if there are any Grand Slam winners for the year who are ranked between 8th and 20th, they get in next.
- Then, the player who is eighth in the ATP rankings gets the last spot.
If there are more than eight players after this, the extra ones become alternates. If they need more backups, the ATP will pick them.
The ATP Race to Turin is like a scoreboard that updates every week, showing players’ rankings from the past year. Players earn points from different types of tournaments, including Grand Slams, ATP Tours, the United Cup, Challenger Tours, and ITF Tours. They get points from their best performances in 19 events, which typically include:
- The four Grand Slam tournaments
- The eight required ATP Masters 1000 tournaments
- The best seven scores from other ranking tournaments
Players can even swap out up to three of the Masters 1000 scores for better ones from ATP 500 or 250 tournaments if they’ve done well in those.
The competitors were divided into two groups.
| Green Group | Red Group |
| Novak Djokovic | Carlos Alcaraz |
| Jannik Sinner | Daniil Medvedev |
| Stefanos Tsitsipas | Andrey Rublev |
| Holger Rune | Alexander Zverev |
Doubles
In the doubles section of the ATP Finals, eight teams play, and there’s one backup team. The teams are picked the same way as the singles players. If the main spots are turned down, they first ask the next team in line, then the highest-ranked team that didn’t get in, and if needed, the ATP picks a team.
Doubles teams get points from the same types of tournaments as singles players. But unlike singles, there are no specific tournaments they have to play in. Instead, teams’ rankings are based on their best scores from any 19 tournaments they choose to play in on the ATP Tour.
| Green Group | Red Group |
| Ivan Dodig, Austin Krajicek | Wesley Koolhof, Neal Skupski |
| Santiago Gonzalez, Edouard Roger-Vasselin | Rohan Bopanna,Matthew Ebden |
| Marcel Granollers, Horacio Zeballos | Rajeev Ram, Joe Salisbury |
| Maximo Gonzalez, Andres Molteni | Rinky Hijikata ,Jason Kubler |
