ATP Finals 2026 begins in Turin with record prize money and Sinner absent

The 2026 ATP Finals will take place in Turin from November 15 to 22 at the Inalpi Arena. Half of the participants will play on the arena's hard court for the first time.

Italian player Flavio Cobolli will make his debut at the event. He qualified after a strong season that included a title in Acapulco, a Roland Garros final, and Wimbledon quarterfinals. Cobolli reached a career-high ranking of number six in the world.

“Tennis is in a strong position today.”

Cobolli faces two concerns: a left thigh injury that forced him to withdraw from Vienna and Paris, and his physical condition. He earned only 110 points between the US Open and Vienna after the Cincinnati Masters semifinal.

World number one Jannik Sinner is absent due to injury, leaving Italian fans without their champion. Carlos Alcaraz is now considered the player to beat after winning indoor titles in Vienna and Paris.

The tournament offers a record total prize money of $15,750,000. An undefeated singles champion will earn $5,171,000, while each group-stage win is worth $405,000.

Carlos Alcaraz could break the $70 million career prize money milestone if he reaches the later stages. He is 23 years old and is expected to pass $100 million in the coming years if he avoids serious injury.
