Stefanos Tsitsipas has qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals for the fifth consecutive year. The Greek will join Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev at the season finale, which will be played at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from 12-19 November.
“It's awesome. What a great relief to finally get that spot,” Tsitsipas said. “I’ve been working extremely hard the whole year… and it's a moment of relief that I've made it to one of my favourite events of the year and I get the opportunity to play in from my Italian fans, but also get some Greek people in.”

Tsitsipas made his debut at the year-end championships in 2019, capturing the prestigious title aged 21. The victory made him the youngest Nitto ATP Finals champion since a 20-year-old Lleyton Hewitt in 2001.
Now 25, Tsitsipas earned his way to the tournament with deep runs at some of the world’s biggest tournaments. The Greek advanced to his second major final at the Australian Open and also reached the championship match in Barcelona.
[BREAK POINT]
Tsitsipas won his 10th ATP Tour trophy in Los Cabos, marking his sixth consecutive season with at least one title. He lost just one set during the week, defeating three Top 30 players en route to the crown.
The Athens native enjoyed a standout clay season, advancing to at least the quarter-finals at all three clay-court ATP Masters 1000 events, including a semi-final showing in Rome. He capped his campaign on clay by making the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. Tsitsipas made a quick start to his year by helping lead Greece to the semi-finals at the inaugural United Cup.
