Ruud, De Minaur & Rublev complete 2024 Nitto ATP Finals field
With Novak Djokovic unable to compete due to injury, the field for the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals is now set. Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev have claimed the final three singles positions at the season finale, which will be played at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from 10-17 November.
The stars will join Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz in the field.
Ruud returns to the year-end championships two years after claiming one of the best results of his career at the tournament. The Norwegian reached the title decider at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals and will make his third overall appearance in the prestigious event.
De Minaur is set to debut at the Nitto ATP Finals and become the first Australian singles player to compete in the season finale since former No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings Lleyton Hewitt made the final in 2004.
Rublev will make his fifth consecutive appearance in the season finale. After participating in the event’s final year in London, he has qualified for all four editions held in Turin.
This year’s Nitto ATP Finals will award $15.25 million in prize money, with the singles champion having the chance to earn a record-breaking $4.8 million — the largest winner’s prize on the men’s tour — if he lifts the trophy without losing a match.
ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said: “Many congratulations to all the players who’ve earned the right to battle for the last title of the season at the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals. After an incredible year, the best in tennis are headed to Turin for what promises to be an unforgettable showdown. With the biggest winner’s prize purse on the men’s tour and one of the sport’s most prestigious titles on the line, this event is the ultimate stage to cap off a thrilling season.”

Sinner (2019) and Alcaraz (2021) are former champions of the event, while De Minaur twice made the final (2018-19) and Rublev also advanced to the championship match (2017). It is also the first year in which all eight singles players have been in their 20s since 2010.
