For the number three seeded Ruud, the goal in Turin is to survive the preliminary round for the second time in a row. In 2021, the Norwegian failed to Daniil Medevdev in the semifinals.
Rafael Nadal, on the other hand, is not only fighting for his first title at the unofficial individual World Cup at this year’s finals, but also for the place at the top of the world rankings.
Due to the injury-related absence of Carlos Alcaraz, there is a chance that the 22-time Grand Slam winner can become number one in the world at the end of the year.
In the “Red Group” the other four players Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev will start the tournament on Monday.
