Italians Bolelli/Vavassori begin their Nitto ATP Finals title bid

Carlos Alcaraz begins his bid to go one step further at the Nitto ATP Finals on Monday, when the 2025 finalist takes on event debutant Frances Tiafoe in Turin.

The No. 3 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, Alcaraz will step on court riding a nine-match winning streak, following his title runs in Vienna and Paris. In Monday’s other Ivan Lendl Group clash, home favourite Flavio Cobolli will hope to light up the night session inside Inalpi Arena by upsetting former World No. 1 and 2020 Nitto ATP Finals champion Daniil Medvedev.

The 30-year-old Medvedev is one of two former Nitto ATP Finals champions in the field, with the other being top seed and World No. 1 Alexander Zverev. Medvedev won the season finale in London in 2020, defeating Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic en route.

Medvedev has won both his previous Lexus ATP Head2Head clashes with Cobolli on hard courts, but neither of those took place indoors. Medvedev is 7-3 indoors this year, a tally which includes an ATP 250 title run in Almaty, while Cobolli is 3-5 when competing under a roof in 2026.

Doubles Action
Home favourites Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori return to Turin for the third consecutive year. After falling short at the group stage in 2024, they reached the semi-finals last year and will hope to progress further this time around in front of their avid local support. Fifth seeds Bolelli and Vavassori will open Monday’s play in Turin when they take on third seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in Mark Woodforde Group.

In the evening doubles match, second seeds Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski meet seventh seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz. Harrison and Skupski, who won the Australian Open and US Open this year, will be wary of the Turin pedigree of their opponents: Krawietz and Puetz claimed the Nitto ATP Finals crown in the Italian city in 2024.
