What Time Is the Final in India?
Italy is on Central European Time (UTC+1) in late November, and India Standard Time is UTC+5:30, so Turin is four and a half hours behind India. Based on the times published by the ATP and Tennis Majors:
- Doubles final: 3 PM in Turin, about 7:30 PM IST on Sunday, November 22.
- Singles final: 6 PM in Turin, about 10:30 PM IST on Sunday, November 22.
A long doubles final can push the singles start back. One British preview lists slightly different times in GMT, so check the official order of play on the morning of November 22 before planning your evening. Indian broadcast arrangements were not confirmed in the sources we checked.
Who Qualified for the Singles?
The eight singles qualifiers have been split into two groups named after former champions.
John McEnroe Group
- Alexander Zverev (Germany), the top seed, world No. 1 and a two-time champion (2018, 2021)
- Ben Shelton (United States), making his second appearance
- Arthur Fils (France), the first Frenchman to qualify since Gael Monfils in 2016
- Rafael Jodar (Spain), aged 20, who was playing college tennis a year ago
Ivan Lendl Group
- Carlos Alcaraz (Spain), the second seed
- Daniil Medvedev, the 2020 champion
- Flavio Cobolli (Italy), playing in front of a home crowd
- Frances Tiafoe (United States)
Fils, Jodar, Cobolli and Tiafoe are all making their ATP Finals debuts, according to Tennis Majors. The listed alternates are Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz.
Why is Jannik Sinner missing?
Jannik Sinner won the title in 2024 and 2025, beating Alcaraz 7-6(4), 7-5 in last year's final. He is out of the 2026 event with a knee injury. The Tico Times reports that he has not played since winning Wimbledon in July and told a press conference in Milan on November 10 that he hopes to return at the 2027 Australian Open. His absence means Turin will crown a new champion, and Italy's home hopes rest on Cobolli.
How the Format Works
The ATP Finals use a format different from ordinary tour events:
- Round robin: each player plays the other three in his group between November 15 and 20.
- Semi-finals: the top two from each group advance. The group winner meets the runner-up from the other group on Saturday, November 21.
- Final: the two semi-final winners meet on Sunday, November 22.
Because a player can lose a group match and still reach the final, the standings can depend on sets and games won, and the semi-final line-up may not be clear until the last round-robin evening. Each day has an afternoon and an evening session, each with one doubles and one singles match.
Prize Money and Ranking Points
The total purse is US$15.75 million. According to the ATP, an unbeaten singles champion would earn US$5,171,000, and the singles final winner earns US$2,412,000 on top of round-robin and semi-final money. An unbeaten doubles champion team would earn US$959,300. The singles champion can collect up to 1,500 ranking points, enough to shape the year-end rankings.
The Doubles Field
Eight teams contest the doubles, also in two groups.
- Todd Woodbridge Group: Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara (seeds 1 and defending champions), Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic, Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti, Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos.
- Mark Woodforde Group: Neal Skupski and Christian Harrison, Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz.
No Indian player is in the doubles field this year.
Why the Final Matters
The ATP Finals are the last big event of the men's season, and they bring the season's leading players together in one indoor arena for a week. A title in Turin can confirm a player's place among the year's best, and for first-time qualifiers such as Jodar and Fils, simply reaching the final day would be a major step. With no defending champion in the field, the 2026 edition is unusually open.
