ATP Finals 2024 Preview: (Tennis)

Novak Djokovic has already pulled out of this season's final event leaving room for one more player to join the field of eight. That final spot goes to Andrey Rublev who is currently ranked #9 in the world. This should be an epic tournament as the WTA Finals has already lived up to the hype just a couple of days in. Here's what you can expect in this year's ATP Finals. 

If you don't already know, everyone in the same group will play a match against the other in the 'round-robin' phase. After those matches are completed, the top two players from each group will be put in a Semi-Final & Final mini bracket to decide the winner. This is a unique tournament as it's the only one that could possibly have a winner that losses in the earlier stages of the tournament. Be prepared for upsets and very intriguing matchups over the course of it.

Sinner goes without saying. He is the best in the world right now. He's the favorite to win this whole tournament and should be considered as must-watch TV whenever he's taking the stage. He's -200 to come out of his side of the bracket. (+125 to Win) 

Medvedev definitely has a shot at winning this tournament. He won just one Grand Slam over the course of his career, which is concerning. However, this setup could favor him really well. It's not as many matchups and he's playing very good tennis right now. I would not be surprised if Meddy reaches the Semi's if not the Final if Sinner isn't on his game in the early stages. (+900 to Win)

Fritz is an interesting player. He's know considered as the top Men's American player on tour and there's no denying that he's got talent. However, he seems to fold when he plays the top competition. It's not easy playing the best of the best. But, I think that the American is going to need a whole lot of luck, especially in a group like this. (+1600 to Win)

Alex De Minaur is a special watch. Not many Australian players have ever been as talented as this guy. Having said that, he could be in for a tough tournament. Having to play against Sinner in the first match of this tournament, he's going to need to put together a couple of really good performances against both Medvedev & Fritz to get through. (+2000 to Win)

Having overtaken the Spaniard as the world number #2 over the past couple of tournaments, Zverev is a threat to win any match. His backhand is brilliant and he's got one of the most accurate service games of all time. This is the tougher of the two groups in my opinion and anyone could get out. The loser of the Zverev/Ruud match might end up going home early. (+550 to Win)

Yes, he's dropped down to #3 in the world. However, Carlos Alcaraz is someone that you can never count out. The Spanish sensation will be wanting to finish the 2024 tennis season with a bang and this is the tournament to do so. With the best in the world all in one event, get your popcorn ready. This is going to be fun. (+210 to Win)

Casper Ruud is not in great form right now. He's lost four consecutive matches leading up to this event which is kind of worrisome. Having said that, we all know what the Norwegian is capable of when he's on his game. Ruud will need to be at his best in all three games of this tournament. (+3500 to Win)

Sneaking into the draw after Novak Djokovic withdrew, Andrey Rublev is a sneaky pick to win this whole thing. On his day, Rublev can look like the best player on tour. However, I don't see that happening this tournament. He's a lucky 'in' and will fall against both Zverev & Alcaraz (maybe even in all three.) (+2000 to Win)

Having not been in 'top' form over the past monthor so, Carlos Alcaraz has fallen into the #3 spot. That being said, he still is one of the more exciting players to watch in the entire world of tennis. His speed, to go with his finesse is something to watch if you've never watched him before. He should be feeling good heading into this tournament and I believe that he'll be ready to win his side of the bracket. Expect Carlos Alcaraz to come out on top of the 'John Newcombe Group' and feature in the final of this year's ATP Finals. You can get - Carlos Alcaraz to Win Quarter at (-125) via. DraftKings Sportsbook.

I do believe that Jannik Sinner will probably feature in the Final as well. He's had an outstanding season considering he's had to deal with his doping scandal. He will be favored in every single match over the course of this tournament. Having said that, it would be foolish of me not to pick him to win his side of the bracket as well. The come out of the 'Ilie Nastase Group,' you can get Sinner to Win Quarter at (-200) via. DraftKings Sportsbook. He's simply just that good.
