The ATP Tour's elite eight suited up and hit the streets of Turin during a two-day media blitz that dialed up the hype ahead of the season-ending Nitto ATP Finals.
Headlined by former champions Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, and also featuring the likes of 22-time Grand slam winner Rafael Nadal, the tournament kicked off with an official gala night that saw players don custom Giorgio Armani suits.
Tsitsipas—who could end the year as world No. 1 should he lift the trophy again with a clean sweep—took fans behind the scenes of his own fitting as players posted up a storm all evening:
Nadal, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz were drawn in Green Group in the tournament's round robin stage, while Tsitsipas, Djokovic, Medvedev, Andrey Rublev all landed in the Red Group.
The top eight singles players were joined by the top eight doubles teams as well as a constellation of VIPs at the Nuvola Lavazza in Turin for the ATP Finals gala dinner, enjoying an evening of camaraderie before the competition gets underway on Sunday.
Next day, all the players hit the streets of Turin for the hectic Nitto ATP Finals Media Day.
The itinerary on Friday was packed, with the Top 8 speaking to a slate of local and international media—plus meeting hundreds of adoring fans and even meeting the mayor of Turin—ahead of the season-ending tournament.
And of course, they all took part in the official 2022 Nitto ATP Finals photo—and this time, everyone understood the assignment.
The Top 8 players took to Turin’s renowned Piazza San Carlo for a commemorative group shot at the Gallerie d’Italia:
