The ATP Finals Say Goodbye to London

This is the final year the world’s best tennis players will compete at the O2 arena before the tournament moves to Italy.

By Cindy Shmerler

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Stan Smith had never met before they were brought together by the ATP Tour for a virtual interview two weeks ago. All Tsitsipas, 22, knew was that Smith , 73, a former Wimbledon and United States Open champion and a world No. 1, was a legend. And that he is the namesake behind famous green and white Adidas sneakers that are worn worldwide.

But Tsitsipas and Smith have something very important in common. Smith was the winner of the ATP’s first year-end championship in 1970, then called the Grand Prix Masters. Tsitsipas, 22, was last year’s champion of what is now the Nitto ATP Finals. When Smith won in Tokyo, he earned $15,000 in prize money. For his final victory over Dominic Thiem, Tsitsipas was awarded $2,656,000.

This week, as the year-end championship for the game’s most elite players celebrates its 50th anniversary, it will be contested at London’s O2 arena for the 12th and final time. Next year, it moves to the Pala Alpitour stadium in Turin, Italy, for five years. That stadium was the Olympic hockey venue for the 2006 Winter Olympics and is Italy’s largest indoor sporting arena. It seats about 15,000, making it smaller than London’s 20,000-seat O2 arena. It will be the first time the ATP Finals will be held in Italy.

The ATP Tour said Turin was chosen for its proximity and similar time zone to the rest of the fall European indoor hard-court events, as well as for the financial investment by the Italian Tennis Federation and Sport e Salute SpA. Total prize money for the 2021 tournament, expected to be played next November, will be a record $14.5 million.

“I was always a proponent of the world tour finals traveling more,” said Novak Djokovic, who has won the championship five times, most recently in 2015. “London, and the O2 arena, was a terrific venue, but there are so many cities around the world that would love to host such an event. I feel like three, four years max, should be a cap, because it’s the best possible promotion of the ATP and men’s tennis as a whole.”

Begun as the apex to a series of tournaments by former player and entrepreneur Jack Kramer as a way to keep top men from signing pro contracts with the rival World Championship Tennis, the event has traversed the world, including 13 years at Madison Square Garden in New York. Roger Federer has won a record six times, and Djokovic, Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras each have five titles.

There have been memorable finals, such as when Boris Becker outlasted Lendl in five sets in 1988. And when David Nalbandian broke serve while Federer was two points from a five-set victory in 2005 and then went on to win the match. Most striking was when Lendl came back from two sets down to beat Vitas Gerulaitis in the final of the 1981 Volvo Masters, a match in which Gerulaitis tried to come to the net to hit a volley only to have Lendl drill a forehand into his forehead, knocking him to the ground.

This year’s ATP Finals — a round robin until the semifinals and finals — will be played without spectators, as were the Paris Masters a week ago and the U.S. Open. Because of the loss of ticket revenue, prize money has been curtailed for the eight eligible singles players and eight doubles teams. Total compensation is down to $5,700,000 from $9 million in 2019. The singles champion will take home $1,564,000.

Federer, the world No. 5, is not competing. He has played just one tournament in 2020 — a straight-set loss to Djokovic in the semifinals of the Australian Open in January — before undergoing knee surgery and taking the year off.

Djokovic, ranked No. 1, is there this year, as is Rafael Nadal , 34, the world No. 2. Nadal has qualified for this tournament every year since 2005 but has never won, reaching the championship match three times. Last year, despite round-robin victories over Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev in London, he failed to advance to the semifinals.

“It’s part of the game; in some places you have more success and in other places a little less,” Nadal said. “It’s true that at the end of the year in the past, I arrived sometimes very physically tired and sometimes mentally, too. In indoor courts, I need to be fresh, I need to be in full conditions.”

Last year, three of the eight players in the ATP Finals — Tsitsipas, Medvedev and Matteo Berrettini — played the tournament for the first time. This year, Tsitsipas and Medvedev are back, as are Thiem and the 2018 champion Alexander Zverev, 23. Newcomers are Andrey Rublev, 23, and Diego Schwartzman, 28.

After losing back-to-back finals to Nadal at Roland Garros in 2018 and ’19 and then falling to Djokovic in five sets in the championship match at this year’s Australian Open, Thiem beat Zverev to finally win his first major at the U.S. Open in September. He is ranked a career-high No. 3.

After a groundbreaking 2019, in which he reached six straight tour finals, including his first major at the U.S. Open, Medvedev, 24, seemed to stall this year. But then he won the Paris Masters, beating Zverev in three sets and ascending to No. 4 in the world.

Zverev reached the semifinals at the Australian Open, the final of the U.S. Open and is trying to repeat his 2018 win at the finals.

“London is a very special place for me, especially the O2 arena, because I won the biggest title of my career so far there,” Zverev said. “The atmosphere, with 20,000 people, is what you look forward to. This year will be different, but it is the new normality for us, and we need to adjust to it.”

With Rublev qualifying alongside Medvedev, there are two Russians in the tournament for the first time since Marat Safin and Yevgeny Kafelnikov made the field in 2000.

Schwartzman, the final qualifier, grew up watching the championships on television from his home in Buenos Aires. When he earned his spot during the Paris Masters, he credited hard work during the lockdown for his success.

“This year has been totally crazy,” said Schwartzman, who notched his first career win over a top five player when he upset Nadal en route to the final in Rome, then lost to him in the semifinals at the French Open. “It hasn’t been easy for anybody, sad for the whole world. I’m just doing my best to bring joy to the people through my tennis.”

ATP World Tour Finals

The ATP World Tour Finals is the season-ending competition in men's professional tennis, featuring the top-eight singles players (and doubles teams) in the world rankings. Participants are split into two groups of four for round-robin play before traditional semifinal and final rounds determine a champion. Evolved from the year-end tournament known as the Masters Grand Prix that began in 1970, the ATP World Tour Finals has been held at the O2 Arena in London since 2009, when Barclays became the event sponsor. Roger Federer won a record-breaking sixth season-ending title in 2011.

The origin of the ATP World Tour Finals dates back to 1970, when the International Tennis Federation set up a grand prix structure of year-long events to culminate with a Masters event in Tokyo in December that featured the top-ranking men's players for that season. (The ITF rival tour, the World Championship Tennis Tour, also featured a season-ending event at the time, the WCT Finals.)

Ilie Nastase won four Masters titles in five appearances between 1971 and 1975, as the ITF became linked with the Association of Tennis Professionals, which would eventually run the men's tour. The year-end Masters moved to other major cities around the world in its first decade, including Paris, Barcelona, Boston, Melbourne, Stockholm, and Houston, before establishing a home at Madison Square Garden in New York from 1977 to 1989.

Bjorn Borg of Sweden won back-to-back events in 1979 and 1980, while American John McEnroe won three titles in his hometown. Ivan Lendl reached nine consecutive finals from 1980 to 1988, winning the championship in five of those years.

The event's name was changed to the ATP Tour World Championships in 1990, and it was held in Frankfurt and Hanover in Germany from 1990 to 1999. Those championships were dominated by Pete Sampras of the U.S., who won five titles during that period to tie Lendl's record mark.

The ITF and ATP made additional changes after the 1999 competition, when the ATP Tour World Championship and the men's Grand Slam Cup (a tourney held between 1990 and 1999) were discontinued and replaced by a new jointly owned, year-end men's event called the Tennis Masters Cup. Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten made history in the inaugural Tennis Masters Cup (played in Lisbon, Portugal) by becoming the first South American to finish the year with ATP's No. 1 ranking by defeating Sampras and Andre Agassi in the semifinals and final, respectively.

Australian Lleyton Hewitt won on home soil when the Tennis Masters Cup moved to Sydney in 2001, and he repeated as champion the following year in Shanghai. After two years in Houston -- with Roger Federer of Switzerland the victor both times -- the tournament returned to Shanghai for a four-year run from 2005 to 2008. Federer won successive titles in 2006 and 2007 before Novak Djokovic captured his first Tennis Masters Cup in 2008.

The event was renamed in 2009 as the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, with the O2 Arena in London named as host for the 2009 through 2012 tournaments. After Nikolay Davydenko won the 2009 edition, Federer claimed the trophy for a fifth time in 2010, equaling the mark of most individual titles set by Lendl and Sampras. He followed that up with another win in 2011, setting the event record with his sixth championship.

Format/Qualification

Qualification of entrants for the ATP World Tour Finals is based on ATP Tour rankings for that calendar year:

1. A selection list for the event includes: a) The top seven players in the ATP rankings as of the Monday after the final ATP World Tour tournament of the calendar year; b) Up to two Grand Slam winners from that year, in order of their positions, ranked between 8 and 20 in the ATP rankings as of that qualification date; and c) Players positioned eight and below in the ATP rankings as of that qualification date.

2. Direct Acceptances: The top-eight players in the selection list qualify for the event as direct acceptances. All direct acceptances must be available for play through the completion of the round-robin competition and the knockout competition, if eligible. Any withdrawal is replaced by the next highest positioned player on the selection list.

The O2 Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena located in London that has hosted numerous sporting events and musical/entertainment acts. Part of a larger O2 entertainment complex on the Greenwich peninsula in London, the arena was opened in 2007 after three years of construction that redeveloped the Millennium Dome venue that housed the Millennium Experience in the city.

With an overall diameter of 365 meters and a volume equal to two of London's old Wembley Stadiums, the O2 Arena is the second largest arena in the United Kingdom. Various seating arrangements can be set up for events at the arena, which can hold a maximum capacity of 20,000.

The O2 Arena has played host to NHL regular-season games, NBA exhibition games, a number of UFC mixed martial arts events and the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in 2009. The facility was selected to serve as the home for tennis' ATP World Tour Finals from 2009 to 2012 and will become a venue for gymnastics and basketball events at the 2012 Olympic Games.

London’s O2 could wave goodbye to ATP tour finals

The ATP Finals’ long stint in London is set to come to an end in 2020, with Turin in pole position to take over as host city of the prestigious season-ending championships in men’s tennis.

The event has proved a resounding success since it moved to the O2 arena in 2009, attracting an average of 256,000 spectators each year, but tour officials are understood to believe that it is time for a change of venue to breathe new life into their showpiece.

Turin are the frontrunners ahead of the O2, Manchester, Tokyo and Singapore in the five-city shortlist. A guarantee of about £65 million for a five-year deal from 2021 to 2025, funded in large part by the Italian government, is believed to be on

How London’s O2 Arena is transformed for ATP World Tour Finals

• Author: Tim Newcomb

Five days before the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals start, the work begins transform London's O2 Arena—the city's second-largest indoor venue in terms of seating capacity—into the show court for the top-eight men’s singles players and doubles teams.

As is customary for quick-installation inside an arena, the ATP World Tour Finals will again employ a wooden surface—this version laid by Greenset—for the singular court inside O2. Multiple layers of acrylic paint on top form the hard court which, according to Barclays ATP World Tour Finals event director Adam Hogg, aims to “deliver a medium-paced fair surface which allows all styles of play to thrive, while also delivering exciting tennis."

​Hogg says the one court allows for an entertainment-styled focus on the show court. The O2 Arena's court will be the same blue on blue scheme, the “preferred” colors of all ATP World Tour hard court events.

“Within the arena we aim to deliver a world-leading event presentation that enhances the spectacle of the tennis and provides the fan with a memorable experience,” he says.

That all starts outside the arena. With access to the grounds for the ATP up to six weeks before the tournament starts, crews can build a media center, hospitality areas, three practice courts (players can also choose to practice at The Queen’s Club in west London) and other facilities, such as a Fan Zone. Within this zone, Hogg says, the ATP wants to open up an interactive space for the general public to experience tennis and watch the players practice.

The Nov. 15-22 event in London will see the top eight men— Novak Djokovic , Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, Rafael Nadal, Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer and Kei Nishikori—compete for the year-end championship title. After the draw on Thursday , World No. 1 and defending champion Djokovic has been drawn in the same group as Federer at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, with Berdych and Nishikori joining the in Group Stan Smith. World No. 2 Murray has been drawn in Group Ilie Nastase with Wawrinka, Nadal and Ferrer.​

As players spend the entire year solidifying their position at the World Tour Finals, the ATP has just six weeks to prepare an environment around O2 Arena and five days inside to make the event the showcase everyone expects.

The story of Djokovic - tennis' ultimate GOAT

There are 1,000 points for the Paris Masters winner.

Novak's motivation

Djokovic holds the men's record with seven year-end No 1 finishes, one more than Pete Sampras. Women's tennis great Steffi Graf holds the overall record with eight but the 24-time Grand Slam champion is closing in on the German great.

"Of course, my greatest motivation is still love for the game. I really like competing. So, as simple as that," Djokovic said.

"And then, you know, I always have goals, you know, and to win another Slam, to be No 1 again, to finish the year as No 1. Those are let's say the big goals."

Djokovic has qualified for the season finale on 16 occasions and last year equalled Roger Federer's record of six ATP Finals trophies. He's won titles at the Australian Open, French Open, US Open, Cincinnati and Adelaide and he now has the opportunity to overtake Federer in Italy.

He is only two weeks short of hitting 400 weeks at world No 1 while he will be the hot favourite to win an 11th Australian Open title in January, which would put him out on his own as the most successful Grand Slam singles player in history.

Djokovic Fact: After 40th Masters 1000 title, he is seeking a seventh finale crown.

Will Alcaraz be fit?

The Spaniard suffered a shock exit in his opening contest at the Paris Masters, as the world No 2 was defeated in straight sets, 6-3 6-4, by 45th-ranked Roman Safiullin.

Wimbledon champion Alcaraz said: "There are a lot of days of practice to be able to reach that level, the level that I want to play. Honestly, after this loss (to Safiullin), I have to take some time before thinking about the next days, and the days (of) what I have to do or what I am going to do. But, obviously, before the ATP Finals have begun, we have time."

Alcaraz qualified for the event after ATP Masters 1000 victories at Indian Wells and Madrid. He also became just the eighth player in the Open Era to win the Queen's Club-Wimbledon double.

Alcaraz Fact: Chasing seventh title of year as he makes his Turin debut.

Who else has qualified?

Daniil Medvedev

The Russian won the year-end championships in 2020 and reached the title match in 2021.

He has claimed titles in Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai and emerged victorious in Miami and Rome as well as reaching the US Open final.

Medvedev Fact: 2020 champ comes in with five titles on the season.

Jannik Sinner

The Italian star is a first-time qualifier for the ATP Finals after competing in the event as an alternate in 2021.

He reached his first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon and lifted his maiden ATP Masters 1000 trophy in Toronto. The 22-year-old also won titles in Beijing and Montpellier.

Sinner Fact: Home favourite qualifies for the first time.

Andrey Rublev

The Russian has qualified for the ATP Finals for a fourth consecutive year having claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Monte Carlo as well as lifting the title in Bastad.

Rublev, 26, also made finals in Dubai, Banja Luka, Halle and Shanghai.

Rublev Fact: He will make his fourth straight finale appearance.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Four years ago the Greek ace became the youngest ATP Finals champion since Lleyton Hewitt in 2001.

Now 25, Tsitsipas reached championship matches at the Australian Open, Barcelona and triumphed in Los Cabos for his 10th ATP Tour trophy.

Tsitsipas Fact: The 2019 champion tops 50 wins for third straight year.

Alexander Zverev

After Hubert Hurkacz's hopes were ended when he lost in three sets against Grigor Dimitrov in Paris, it resulted in Zverev becoming the seventh player to qualify.

The 26-year-old will be making his sixth appearance at the prestigious year-end event, having triumphed in 2018 and 2021.

Zverev Fact: The two-time champion is capping a huge comeback season having suffered ankle ligament damage at the French Open in 2022.

Holger Rune

Alex De Minaur had to beat Andrey Rublev in Paris to stay in the hunt, but he suffered a three-set defeat to put Rune into the main draw.

Rune believes that coach Boris Becker has helped him pull out of a downward spiral.

"It's never easy to reverse a negative spiral like the one I went through, and he helped me do it," said the Dane.

Rune Fact: The 20-year-old Dane is set to make his debut.

Hubert Hurkacz : Will serve as first alternate in Turin Taylor Fritz: Will serve as second alternate in Turin

All eyes on Turin

The ATP Finals are currently being played on the hardcourts at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, the largest indoor arena in Italy with a capacity of 15,000.

Turin, which took over from London's O2 Arena following a 12-year run, is the 15th city to host the event, and first in Italy, since it was first staged in 1970.

The Italian city will host the tennis event until 2025.

What's the format, how many points are on offer & what's the prize money?

The tournament has two groups of four players and uses a round-robin format. The top two from each group advance to the knockout semi-finals, with the semi-final winners meeting for the title.

Each round-robin match win was worth 200 points, with 400 points on offer for a semi-final win. If a player wins the tournament without losing, they will receive 1,500 ranking points.

This year's tournament will award a record $15m in prize money. If the champion at this year's event lifts the trophy without losing a match, he will earn more than $4.8m, the largest prize money for an individual player in the history of tennis.
