London
Djokovic and Federer will be joined by Austrian Dominic Thiem and Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in Group Bjorn Borg. Nadal and Zverev were drawn with Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Russian Daniil Medvedev in Group Andre Agassi. Federer has won the ATP Finals a record six times in his career — last winning the title in 2011 — while Djokovic has won it five times.
Nadal has never won the tournament, losing in the final twice. Nadal, who dethroned Djokovic at the top of the ATP rankings on Monday, pulled out of the semi-finals of the Paris Masters last week due to an abdominal injury. But the Spaniard confirmed his participation for the year-ender.
The ATP Finals will take place between November 10 and 17 and is played in a round-robin format, with the top two players from each group advancing to the last four stage.
Nadal to travel
Nadal confirmed he will make it to the ATP Finals. “(On Monday), I had a scan in Mallorca. Despite having a small strain in my right abdominal, I will travel to London,” the 33-year-old said in a statement on his official Twitter account on Tuesday. “On Thursday or Friday I will start training on my serve. My aim is to be able to play,” he added.
