Each Nitto ATP Finals competitor will return to Turin’s Inalpi Arena across Tuesday and Wednesday for a second taste of the action at the prestigious season finale.
Top seed Jannik Sinner will look to build on his impressive start in Ilie Nastase Group in a Tuesday evening clash against Taylor Fritz. Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur in straight-sets in his opening match but will be wary of the fifth-seeded Fritz, who also notched a comfortable first win against Daniil Medvedev.
