With just days to go until the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals begins, the stars gave fans in Turin a taste of what is to come as they gathered for the tournament’s iconic group photo on Friday evening.
Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jodar were all present at Piazza San Carlo, where they made their way down the Blue Carpet before stopping at the striking Stargate installation.
Designed to serve as a visual landmark for the event, Stargate brings the identity of the Nitto ATP Finals into the heart of Turin, transforming the players’ Blue Carpet arrivals into a celebration shared with fans, residents and visitors. The installation was created by Pininfarina, the same firm behind the Skywalk at Inalpi Arena, where the prestigious season-ending championships will take place from 15-22 November.

Two of this year's four Nitto ATP Finals debutants, Fils and Tiafoe, also joined the TikTok LIVE broadcast hosted by UK creator @mollyalli. The broadcast forms part of the ATP's collaboration with TikTok, which includes its On Tour With creator programme and aims to bring fans closer to the Tour through exclusive content, player access and fresh perspectives on the sport.
After taking in the Stargate installation and enjoying the atmosphere along the Blue Carpet, the players came together in their respective outfits for the traditional group photo featuring all eight singles competitors. They also took time to greet fans, pose for pictures and interact with the crowds gathered in the square, giving supporters an opportunity to get up close with some of the biggest names in men's tennis.
Two-time Nitto ATP Finals champion and World No. 1 Zverev headlines the John McEnroe Group, which also features Shelton, Fils and Jodar, while Alcaraz leads the Ivan Lendl Group alongside Medvedev, Cobolli and Tiafoe.
Sunday's opening day of action at the Inalpi Arena will see Zverev take on debutant Jodar in the afternoon session, before Shelton and Fils meet in the evening session.
