Arribage/Olivetti set for Nitto ATP Finals debut
Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti’s career-best season will not end after this week’s Rolex Paris Masters. The Frenchmen have qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals.
It has been a breakthrough season for the first-time qualifiers, who have won a Tour-leading six ATP Tour titles. They have triumphed at three ATP 500 events and three ATP 250 tournaments.
Arribage and Olivetti claimed three trophies — in Auckland, Montpellier and Dallas — by the middle of February and they have not looked back since. The 26-year-old Arribage and 34-year-old Olivetti also emerged victorious in Halle, Mallorca and Basel.
That was not all for the Frenchmen. They also made the final in Munich, Tokyo and Lyon, breaking the 50-wins threshold during Basel.
Neither man has previously qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals with any partner. Arribage and Olivetti will compete against Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten, Christian Harrison/Neal Skupski, Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos, Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic, Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori, Kevin Krawietz/Tim Puetz and Orlando Luz/Rafael Matos in Turin.
The season finale will begin on 15 November at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
