  • Posted: Sep 02, 2024

Alexander Zverev qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals for the seventh time on Sunday when he advanced to the US Open quarter-finals with a victory against Brandon Nakashima. The season finale will take place at Inalpi Arena from 10-17 November.

The German has earned his place at the prestigious year-end championships in seven of the past eight seasons. He is a two-time Nitto ATP Finals champion, having lifted the trophy in 2018 and 2021.

Only two active singles players have won the tournament more than once: record seven-time champion Novak Djokovic and Zverev, who in 2018 defeated Roger Federer in the semi-finals and Djokovic in the final to earn the crown. Only 10 players have triumphed at the event more than once in the event’s history (since 1970).

Zverev leads the ATP Tour in wins during the 2024 season with 56 according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a consistent season, including his sixth ATP Masters 1000 triumph in Rome. He also made his second major final at Roland Garros and another championship match on home soil in Hamburg.

Zverev owns a 14-9 record at the Nitto ATP Finals and in addition to his titles in 2018 and 2021, he also advanced to the semi-finals in 2019.

The German is the second singles player to qualify for this year’s Nitto ATP Finals, joining Jannik Sinner. Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic and Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos have qualified in doubles.
