In case of achieving a victory against Alex de Miñaur, Jannik Sinner would have a very good chance of advancing to the semifinals. Meanwhile, De Miñaur failed to reflect his season's performance in his two previous matches, losing in straight sets against Sinner and Medvedev, despite having the best season of his career. The Australian is obligated to win in two sets and will depend on other results to remain in contention for advancement.

Later, not before 16:30, Sinner and Medvedev will face off in one of the most exciting matches of the group stage of the tournament. Sinner has had an excellent performance during 2024, winning his two previous matches in straight sets and is very close to securing his place in the semifinals. On the other hand, Medvedev faces a greater challenge having to defeat an opponent who has beaten him seven out of the last eight times they faced each other.

In another instance of the tournament, the world number 1 doubles pair, Horacio Zeballos from Argentina and Marcel Granollers from Spain, will play their last round-robin match after a tough start with two previous losses. They will need to win in two sets against the Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson and hope for favorable results in other matches to keep their chances of advancing.

The Ilie Nastase Group of the ATP Finals will be decided with the matches between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev, and Taylor Fritz and Alex de Miñaur. The first match of the day will be between Fritz and De Miñaur, with Fritz coming into the match with good chances after a victory in his first match against Medvedev.
