The draw for the Nitto ATP Finals was held on Thursday, allowing preparations for the finals to progress.
Daniil Medvedev, the 2020 champion, fell to Team Ilie Nastase alongside World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. If the pair meet, it will be an exciting rematch of last year's semi-final and bragging rights will be on the line as their Lexus ATP Head2Head series is tied at 7-7.
ATPTour.com takes a look at the other Lexus ATP Head2Head competitors that will continue in Turin.
Ilie Nastase Group
Sini and Medvedev tied 7-7
After losing his first six meetings with Medvedev, Sinner managed to turn the tide in his favor over the past two seasons. The 23-year-old leads 4-1 against Medvedev in 2024, highlighted by his thrilling return to the Australian Open final to win his first Grand Slam title.
Soni leads Fritz 2-1
Fritz played the biggest match of his career against Sinner in this year's US Open final, but he couldn't find the ground as the Italian cruised to a straight sets win. Fritz, however, will relish the chance to get revenge on Sinner in the group stage of the Nitto ATP Finals.
Soni leads De Minaur 7-0
Sinner holds a commanding lead in his Head2Head rivalry with De Minaur. In their seven matches, Sinner dropped one set to the Australian. Their most recent meeting came in the ATP 500 final in Rotterdam, which was Sinner's 12th straight win at the start of an explosive season.
Medvedev leads Fritz 1-0
Medvedev leads De Minaur 6-3
De Minaur leads Fritz 5-3

John Newcombe The group
Zverev and Alcaraz tied 5-5
Zverev's rivalry with Alcaraz reached a boiling point in this year's Roland Garros final. With Germany leading 2-1 and on the verge of winning their first title, Alcaraz found inspired tennis to equal their Lexus ATP Head2Head record and go 2-1 on the season.
Alcaraz and Rublev tied 1-1
Rublev stunned Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of this year's Mutua Madrid Open en route to his first ATP Masters 1000 title and leveled their Head2Head series at 1-1. Their other meeting was a straight-sets win for the Spaniard in the group stage of last year's Nitto ATP Finals, but is Rublev out for revenge in Turin?
Zverev leads Ruud 3-2
Zverev went on to defeat Ruud in the semifinals at Roland Garros this year. The win was made exciting not only because it was a postponement of the 2023 semi-final, which Ruud won, but it wrapped up the German lead in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
Alcaraz leads Ruud 4-0
Rublev leads Ruud 5-2
Zverev leads Rublev 6-3
