ATP Finals also known as the Nitto ATP Finals is the year-end championship of the ATP Tour where the top 8 players with the most ranking points throughout the season play for the title as a maximum of 1,500 ranking points is awarded to the winner while staying undefeated during the round-robin stage.
The ATP Finals will take place between 13-20 November in Turin, Italy. An undefeated singles champion had earned $2,316,000 in prize money but this time, a new record will be created as the winner will receive as much as $4.7 million prize money and surpasses the previous record of Ashleigh Barty who had won $4.4 million amount in prize money in 2019.
For each victory in the round-robin stage as the top 8 are divided into two groups, each player will pocket 383,000 euros. If a player manages to win all three matches, then they would win a sum of 1,149,000 euros and a guaranteed ticket to the semifinals, where the awarded prize money is 1,070,000 euros.
The amount ATP Finals has decided to give away to the winner is much higher which is almost double the amount of prize money received at the Grand Slams tournaments of the year. The total purse allocated for the final tournament is $14.5million.

Alexander Zverev is the defending champion of the ATP Finals
Alexander Zverev handed Daniil Medvedev, the champion of the ATP Finals of 2020 a straight sets defeat in the finals of the 2021 ATP Finals to win the title for the second time. He won his first Nitto ATP title in 2018 defeating the Serbian legend Novak Djokovic in straight sets.
But this time, there are fewer chances for Zverev to qualify for the championship since he hasn’t played a single match after his injury at the French Open with further rehabilitation and recovery that did not add to his early return. He was hoping for a comeback at the Davis Cup but a bone injury further pushed his recovery for some time.
Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Stefanos Tsitsipas have already qualified for the year-end championship in Turin with three more players’ names yet to be confirmed.
