Alexander Zverev will make his eighth appearance at the season finale (17-10 record). In 2018, he defeated Roger Federer in the semi-finals and Novak Djokovic in the final to earn the crown.

In 2021, he became one of just two active singles players who has won the Nitto ATP Finals more than once — Novak Djokovic is the other. Only 10 players have triumphed at the event more than once in the event’s history (since 1970).  

Zverev put himself in good position in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin early in the year by making the Australian Open final, his third championship match at a Grand Slam tournament.

The Hamburg native triumphed on home soil in Munich for the 24th ATP Tour title of his career, and he has now claimed at least one tour-level trophy in nine of the past 10 seasons. Zverev also made the final in Stuttgart and advanced to ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals in Toronto and Cincinnati.
