Who plays the ATP Finals 2023
The ATP Finals bring together the best eight rackets of the year in a single event. A chosen group in which, of course, is Carlos Alcarazcurrent number 2 in the world. After a bad performance in Paris, the Murcian will try to end the year with a good taste in his mouth winning the only important trophy that Rafa Nadal has not managed to win. Obviously, after his year away from the slopes, the Spaniard will not be present in Turin this edition.
Nevertheless, The top favorite to win the trophy is Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has finished the season like a shot, winning in the French capital, and as always when his name appears on the card, he is the rival to beat. However, as we said, it is a traditionally very open tournament, as demonstrated by the fact that up to three former champions, Daniil Medvedev (winner in 2020), Stefanos Tsitsipas (2019) and Alexander Zverev (2018 and 2019) will be present at the Pala Alpitour. Two debutants, Jannik Sinner, who also plays at home, and Holger Rune, as well as Andrey Rublev, complete the selection.
