I wish he had just made this clear a month ago - could have saved a lot of trouble.

How can you have an injury when you just won a tournament.

2025 Week 45
ATP's Finally Finals
Tennis Watchers
Nov 8

As of this posting, we may not yet know who is all playing in the ATP Finals, but we at least know when and where! Action kicks off Sunday morning in Italy with doubles matches starting the order of play with singles matches following. That schedule will be the same each day, so anticipate singles matches to start around 8:00am CST.

Tennis Channel will continue to be the home of all the action. Much like the WTA, the ATP also will have a live stream for practices active to check out throughout the week.

I think Djokovic is doing what I would advise..rack up the tournament wins and hunt down Federer..only 2 ahead now Djoko would be not have won Turin anyway..at this stage in his life

Is Novak racking up the tournament wins, though?

ETA: in great tennis journa(i)lism, when I did a Google search to see what tournaments ND has won this year, the AI bot told me he won the 2025 AO

This has made Alcaraz group kind of weak..

Just numbers since that is what tennis accountants watch...he has 101, Fed has 103.

The conditions in Turin are fast...I would expect DeMinaur to emerge, along with Alcaraz..the other group is harder to forecast..maybe FAA will make it, with Sinner.
