The season-ending Masters, the Nitto ATP Finals 2026, gathers the top eight singles players and doubles teams in the world in Turin from November 15 to 22. The Inalpi Arena once again hosts this tennis spectacle, where players will clash in a unique “Round Robin” format for the most prestigious trophy at the end of the calendar year. Top-tier tennis is expected, and the focus is on whether last year’s champion will manage to defend the title in indoor conditions in front of a passionate Italian crowd, or if a new champion will take the crown.
