Alexander Zverev will soon begin his bid to capture a third ATP Finals title in Turin.
The German, who won the ATP Finals in 2018 and 2021, is seeded first at this season’s edition of the year-end event after recording a sensational 2026 campaign. Zverev captured a maiden Grand Slam title that had eluded him his entire career at Roland Garros, and went on to reach his first Wimbledon final before hoisting a second major title at the US Open.
Alexander Zverev’s draw at the 2026 ATP Finals
Zverev has been placed in group McEnroe at the ATP Finals, along with Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils and Rafael Jodar. The Lendl group, meanwhile, features Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli and Frances Tiafoe.
Fils, Jodar, Cobolli and Tiafoe are all making their debuts at the ATP Finals. Zverev and Medvedev are the only former champions to be appearing in Turin, with the Russian having won the tournament for the first time in 2020.

In the round-robin stage, Zverev has managed to avoid the only two players in the draw who hold a winning record against him. He trails Alcaraz 7-6 at tour-level events, though with the Spaniard seeded second, they would have never been in the same group anyway.
The only other player scheduled to feature in Turin with a winning record against Zverev is Medvedev, who leads their rivalry 14-8. Zverev came out on top in their last clash at the 2025 Paris Masters, but has lost to Medvedev in eight of their last 10 meetings.
Zverev will fancy his chances of getting out of group McEnroe comfortably. He has never lost to Shelton at a tour-level event, leading the head-to-head with the American 6-0. Zverev leads Fils 5-2 and Jodar 1-0. Zverev’s only bout with Jodar came in the Roland Garros quarterfinals earlier this year, where he beat the young star in straight sets.
