Published on November 13, 2023 9:17 p.m. / Modified on November 14, 2023 6:28 a.m. The Tennis Masters, officially ATP Finals, have been taking place since this Sunday for eight days at the Pala Alpitour in Turin. Traditional meeting of the eight best players of the season, this year they only include Europeans: the Serbian Novak Djokovic, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, the Russians Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev, the Italian Jannik Sinner, the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, the the German Alexander Zverev, the Dane Holger Rune. This is only the third time in the history of the Masters, a competition created in 1970, that the eight participants are all from the same continent. It’s even more impressive if we point out that this is also the third time in five years (after 2019 and 2021), and that, in each case, it was only European players. Four times in the last ten years, there was only one non-European qualified, the Japanese Kei Nishikori in 2015, the Argentines Juan Martin del Potro in 2013 and Diego Schwartzman in 2020, the American Jack Sock in 2017 .
