After capturing his first Paris Masters title, Carlos Alcaraz will now head to Turin to compete in the ATP Finals.

Alcaraz beat Ben Shelton in the final ATP Masters 1000 match of the season on Sunday to go within two titles of completing the Career Golden Masters. He needs to win the Canadian Open and the Shanghai Masters to achieve the feat, which only Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner have managed since the introduction of the ATP Masters 1000 format.

With Sinner out of action for the ATP Finals, Alcaraz has a great chance of winning the tournament for the first time.

Carlos Alcaraz’s plans for the ATP Finals as he chases maiden title

According to Marca, Alcaraz will travel to Turin on Wednesday, November 11, to start his preparation for the ATP Finals, which begins on Sunday 15. He will have a light practice session with his coach, Samuel Lopez, followed by more intensive training sessions with Rafael Jodar, Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli.

Jodar, Cobolli, Frances Tiafoe and Arthur Fils will all be debutants at the ATP Finals and join Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and Shelton in the lineup. Novak Djokovic, the record holder for the most ATP Finals titles ever (7), did not qualify for this season’s edition.

How many majors will Carlos Alcaraz win next year?

Having made three appearances at the ATP Finals before, Alcaraz has never managed to get his hands on the title. The 23-year-old made his debut during the 2023 season, when he reached the semifinals before falling to Djokovic.

The following season, Alcaraz was knocked out in the round-robin stage, having lost to Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev and picking up just one victory over Andrey Rublev. Alcaraz then achieved his best finish at the ATP Finals in 2025 by making the title bout.

Alcaraz fell in that final to Sinner, who won back-to-back ATP Finals crowns. Sinner was due to attempt a historic three-peat in Turin, but the recurring knee issue that has kept him sidelined since the Wimbledon final forced him to shut his season down early.
