Alexander Zverev is set to overtake an Andy Murray record ahead of his first match at the ATP Finals this year

Alexander Zverev is set to make more history at the ATP Finals this year.

Zverev will play his first ATP Finals as world number one this year, having reached the summit of the ATP rankings after the best season of his career, which has seen him winning both Roland Garros and the US Open.

The ATP Finals are a tournament that Zverev is very familiar with, with this year being his ninth year qualifying in the last 10 years.

As Zverev gears up to begin his campaign at the ATP Finals this year, he is set to overtake an Andy Murray record.

Alexander Zverev will make his ninth appearance at the ATP Finals this year

Zverev will make his ninth appearance at the ATP Finals this year, which draws him level with John McEnroe and Stefan Edberg as the two other players who have qualified for the prestigious year-end tournament in his career.

It also means that Zverev has moved ahead of former world number one and 2016 ATP Finals champion Murray, who made eight appearances at the year-end tournament.

Zverev is set to join an elite group of players ahead of his upcoming match at the ATP Finals, but he is still some way from the players who made the most appearances at the tournament in Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

Federer made 17 appearances at the ATP Finals in his career, just one ahead of Djokovic, who narrowly missed out on this year’s tournament. However, Djokovic has actually qualified for the ATP Finals two more times than Federer in his career, but did not play the event in either 2024 or 2025.

The other players who have reached double-digits in number of appearances at the ATP Finals are Andre Agassi (13), Ivan Lendl (12), Jimmy Connors (11), Boris Becker (11), Pete Sampras (11) and Rafael Nadal (11).

Alexander Zverev’s record at the ATP Finals

Not only is Zverev one of the players who has qualified for the ATP Finals the most, but he has also found success at the tournament.

In his eight previous appearances at the tournament, Zverev has won two titles, in both 2018 and 2021, making him one of 11 players who has won multiple titles at the event. This puts Zverev as equal alongside Jannik Sinner, Bjorn Borg and Lleyton Hewitt, other players who have won two titles at the ATP Finals.

Zverev was unable to add to his ATP Finals trophy haul last year, as he exited at the round-robin stage after losing two of his three matches in Turin.

This year, Zverev will be hoping for a much better outcome than he achieved at the ATP Finals last year, particularly as the top-ranked player in the field.

Zverev will be joined by Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils and Rafael Jodar in the John McEnroe Group in Turin. Zverev’s first match will take place on Sunday, November 15, against Jodar, who he has won his only previous match against at Roland Garros earlier this year.
