Defending champion Novak Djokovic has been placed in a group with home favorite Jannik Sinner for the ATP Finals in Turin, where he needs to win just one match to end the year as world No. 1.
The draw for the season-ending, eight-man finals was made Thursday and saw Djokovic pitted against Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune as well as Sinner in the Green Group for the round-robin stage.
Second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz headlines the Red Group, which also includes Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev.
The top two from each group advance to the semifinals.
Djokovic is bidding to win the event for a seventh time and has not lost a match since his
defeat to Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final in July. He currently shares the record of six victories with Roger Federer.

The tournament starts Sunday and the final is scheduled for Nov. 19.
Novak Djokovic achieved a lot last week—his record-extending seventh Rolex Paris Masters title and his record-extending 40th Masters 1000 crown, to name just a few of his accomplishments.
But there’s another career milestone the world No. 1 reached—with his five wins en route to the title in the French capital, Djokovic improved his career indoor winning percentage to exactly 80.0%.
He went in with a 187-48 indoor record, or 79.6%, but after wins over Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Tallon Griekspoor, Holger Rune, Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov, he left at 192-48, which is exactly 80.0%.
According to atptour.com, Djokovic is now one of just six men in the Open Era with an 80.0% or higher career winning percentage indoors.
