The latest edition of the ATP World Tour Finals is just around the corner as eight of the top-performing players in 2026 do battle for the end-of-season title.
This year's tournament has an unfamiliar feel to it, with defending champion Jannik Sinner unable to feature due to injury.
Meanwhile, for just the second time in 20 years, Novak Djokovic is also absent. While the legendary Serbian did not play in 2017 due to injury, he failed to accumulate points across the calendar year on this occasion.
With Carlos Alcaraz having missed Roland Garros and Wimbledon due to injury, Alexander Zverev heads into this competition as the world number one.
Germany's Zverev capitalised on the absence of the Spaniard to finally lift silverware at Wimbledon, while he would also prevail at the US Open.
There is the rare occurrence of four debutants in this year's singles competition, with Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jodar all hoping to make an impact on their maiden appearances.
Here, Sports Mole walks you through everything you need to know about the 2026 ATP Finals, including a rundown of the doubles participants.
