## Summary

Alexander Zverev begins his ATP Finals campaign against Rafael Jódar, with the match offering an early test of Zverev’s standing as world No 1. He has won the French and US Opens this year while leading the men’s game in the absence of its top players, but Carlos Alcaraz’s return adds pressure in Turin.

Jódar, meanwhile, has climbed rapidly into the top 10 and will face Zverev as the underdog. It took him 287 days from his ATP Tour-level debut to reach the top 10, a rise that included his first title in Morocco and broke Gustavo Kuerten’s previous record.
