Dodig/Krajicek, Koolhof/Skupski Qualify For Nitto ATP Finals

Ivan Dodig/Austin Krajicek and Wesley Koolhof/Neal Skupski are the first two doubles teams to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals. The 2023 season finale will be played from 12-19 November in Turin.

Both pairs are returning to the year-end championships for the second consecutive season after making team debuts at the Pala Alpitour last year. 

Dodig and Krajicek, who became a team in the middle of 2022, have enjoyed a consistent 2023. They won their first major title together at Roland Garros and their maiden ATP Masters 1000 trophy at Monte-Carlo.

They also secured ATP 500 crowns at Rotterdam, Queen’s Club and Beijing, and reached the semi-finals of the US Open. Dodig and Krajicek reached the final at ATP 250 tournaments in Adelaide and Eastbourne.

Dodig has earned his place at the season finale for the ninth time (four different partners) and Krajicek is a two-time qualifier.

Koolhof and Skupski have proven a consistent force on the doubles scene since partnering for the first time last year. In 2022 they competed in the Nitto ATP Finals and were crowned ATP Doubles No. 1 presented by Pepperstone.

It has been another standout season for Koolhof and Skupski, who earned their first major title together at Wimbledon. They also triumphed at ’s-Hertogenbosch.

Other notable results include championship match appearances at Indian Wells, Barcelona and Beijing. They also made the quarter-finals at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

Koolhof won the Nitto ATP Finals title in 2020 alongside Nikola Mektic. This edition will mark his third appearance in the season finale and Skupski’s second.
