The ATP has released the official order of play for the first two days of the Nitto ATP Finals, the season-ending tournament played on the indoor hard court of the Inalpi Arena in Turin: Radio Sportiva reports it, citing the outlet Ubitennis. The schedule was published on November 12; the tournament runs in Turin from November 15 to 22. For tennis followers it is the document that says when the Italian players are on court, and not only them.
Sunday, November 15 begins at around 11:30 with the top seeds in doubles, Finland's Harri Heliovaara and Britain's Henry Patten, against Brazil's Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos. No earlier than 14:00 comes the first singles match, with top seed Alexander Zverev against Spain's Rafael Jodar; the evening session opens at 18:00 with the doubles match between Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic on one side and Frenchmen Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti on the other, and closes no earlier than 20:30 with Ben Shelton against Arthur Fils.
Watching the Italian players in action means waiting until Monday, November 16, the day that involves all the Italian representatives. At 11:30 Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, the fifth seeds in doubles, face the established pair of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos. In the afternoon, no earlier than 14:00, the spotlight is on second seed Carlos Alcaraz, who meets American Frances Tiafoe.
The finale of the second day is Flavio Cobolli's singles debut. The Italian is the tournament's fifth seed and plays in the evening session, no earlier than 20:30, against Russia's Daniil Medvedev. His match closes Monday's schedule, right after the 18:00 doubles between Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski and Germany's Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz. Medvedev has already won the Nitto ATP Finals, in 2020: that is his benchmark, and the November 16 match is the first step towards that level again.
Two clarifications on how to read these times. They are "not before" start times, which means the schedule can slip, and the home crowd does not change the rule that applies to everyone. The Italian source does not report statements from the players or the organisers about the order of play: what can be stated with certainty is the calendar, not how the matches will go. Over the same period the network has also covered another ATP Finals innovation, real-time audio description for blind and visually impaired fans, and the words of the Italian tennis federation president on tennis and football.
