Second seed Carlos Alcaraz begins his bid to win his first ever ATP Finals title. The 2025 losing finalist faces seventh-seeded Frances Tiafoe in the opening match in the Ivan Lendl group. Recent matches for both players and three previous meetings have led us to make a prediction of more than 19.5 games.
Also in this group are Daniil Medvedev and Flavio Cobolli. The top two players in the group will go into the knockout semi-finals.
This is being played on an indoor hard court in Turin, Italy. One slight concern here is that Alcaraz has a slight worry with a knee injury.
Alcaraz has won all ten of the matches he's played on this surface in 2026 with his last two tournaments seeing him win the titles in Vienna and Paris. Of those ten wins, seven saw more than 19.5 games played with one won via walkover.
The Spaniard leads Tiafoe 2-1 in previous meetings. Tiafoe's win came on clay. Two were in Grand Slams and went to five sets.
Frances Tiafoe has only played four indoor hard court matches this year with just one victory. Four of his last five matches have been lost
Only one of the American's last 11 best-of-three sets matches has seen more than 19.5 games.
