Rafael Nadal can be quite satisfied with his draw at the ATP Finals. The Spaniard meets Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz in the green group. The 22-time Grand Slam winner will also play his opening game against the latter on Sunday from 9:00 p.m. The first individual match of this year's ATP Finals will therefore be played by Ruud and Auger-Aliassime from 2:00 p.m.
On Monday, Novak Djokovic, the tournament favorite, intervened. The Serb meets second-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas at 21:00 CEST, whom he defeated in the third set tie-break at last week's Masters 1000 event in Paris-Bercy . Before that, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev will face each other from 14:00.
Game days two and three of the green group take place on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, and those of the red group on Wednesday and Friday. In the semi-finals, the winners of each group meet the runners-up, before the title battles on Sunday from 7:00 p.m.
