The 2023 ATP Finals saw players split into two groups, with Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune competing in the Green Group, while Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev were in the Red Group.

Djokovic finished second in the group with a 2-1 record thanks to wins over Rune (7-6 (4), 6-7 (1), 6-3) and Hubert Hurkacz (7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-1). Hurkacz had replaced Tsitsipas, who withdrew from the tournament three games into his second match against Rune.

In the Red Group, three players finished with 2-1 records, with Zverev unlucky not to make the semi-finals despite only losing one match. Alcaraz finished top courtesy of straight set wins over Rublev (7-5, 6-2) and Medvedev (6-4, 6-4), while Medvedev took the remaining qualification spot, having also beaten Rublev (6-4, 6-2) and squeezing past Zverev (7-6 (7), 6-4).

The semi-finals saw Alcaraz come up against Djokovic, while Sinner took on Medvedev.

Despite having played several epic already this year, Djokovic v Alcaraz was a straightforward affair, with the Serbian winning 6-3, 6-2 over his biggest rival this year. Sinner v Medvedev was more competitive, however, with Medvedev winning a tight second set tiebreak to force a decider, before falling off to lose 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-1.

With Sinner having beaten Djokovic in the round-robin, the Italian was faced with a rematch if he wanted to win the biggest title of his career in front of a packed out home crowd. Unfortunately for the fans, lightening did not strike twice in Turin, as Djokovic put on one of the best finals performances of his career, winning 6-3, 6-3 to claim his seventh Nitto ATP finals title.
