Alexander Zverev becomes fourth player to qualify for ATP Finals, joining Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic

Alexander Zverev has become the fourth player to qualify for this year’s ATP Finals in Turin, joining Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic in the elite eight-man field, with four spots still up for grabs.

His qualification was officially announced on Friday, after he advanced to the semifinals in Vienna—his seventh semifinal of the year.

This is his eighth time qualifying for the ATP Finals in the last nine years, having made the cut every year from 2017 to 2021 and now 2023 to 2025.

He likely would've qualified in 2022, too, had he not ended his season after a devastating ankle injury in the semifinals of Roland Garros.

Zverev is a two-time ATP Finals champion in 2018 and 2021, one of only two active players to win the event multiple times, after seven-time winner Djokovic (whom he beat en route to both of his titles).

Zverev’s latest ATP Finals qualification comes after another strong season, highlighted by reaching the third Grand Slam final of his career at the Australian Open (finishing runner-up to Sinner) and capturing the 24th ATP title of his career at the ATP 500 clay-court event in Munich.

He's also reached one more final at the grass-court event in Stuttgart (finishing runner-up to Taylor Fritz), another four semifinals in Halle, Toronto, Cincinnati and now Vienna, and another five quarterfinals in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Roland Garros and Beijing.

In terms of ranking, he’s been right up there with the best of them—he’s been either No. 2 or No. 3 every single week this year, and in fact every single week for more than a year, since last year’s US Open.

And with his victories so far in Vienna this week, he's 50-21 on the year, the sixth time in his career that he's reached the 50-win milestone after 2017 (57), 2018 (60), 2021 (59), 2023 (55) and 2024 (69).

Four spots now remain in the field at this year's ATP Finals, with Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti currently sitting in the No. 5 to No. 8 positions, respectively, in the ATP Race to Turin.

While Fritz and Shelton lost early in Basel, De Minaur and Musetti are still alive in the draw in Vienna this week—and they both have a shot at moving up to the No. 5 spot depending on how they do from here.
