Both players won their group with 2-1 records and advanced to the final with straight-set semi-final wins over former tournament champions. Thiem holds a 4-2 head-to-head advantage (3-1 on hard courts) and in their previous meeting this season in the final of the China Open in Beijing on 6 October, Thiem came back to win 36 64 61. This is their first indoor meeting. Last year the Austrian won three of their five meetings. Tsitsipas, 21, is the youngest tournament finalist since Juan Martin del Potro (21) in 2009 (l. to Davydenko) and the youngest player to make his debut and reach the final since Jim Courier (21) in 1991 (l. to Sampras). Thiem will finish a year-end best No. 4 in the ATP Rankings (from No. 5) by reaching the final.

In the past three years Zverev (2018), Grigor Dimitrov (2017) and Andy Murray (2016) were first-time champions. The last time this happened in the tournament was from 1988-91 with future International Tennis Hall of Famers Boris Becker (1988), Stefan Edberg (1989), Andre Agassi (1990) and Pete Sampras (1991) winning the title. What’s At Stake: The champion will earn an additional $1,354,000 and 500 ATP Rankings points - The winner will earn $2,656,000 and 1,300 ATP Rankings points for the week - The finalist will earn $1,302,000 and 800 ATP Rankings points for the week Youngest Champions: If Tsitsipas (21 years, 3 months) wins the title, he will be youngest champion since 20-year-old Hewitt in 2001 and 6th-youngest champion in tournament history: Champion Year Age John McEnroe 1978 19 years, 11 months Pete Sampras 1991 20 years, 3 months Andre Agassi 1990 20 years, 6 months Lleyton Hewitt 2001 20 years, 9 months Boris Becker 1988 21 years, 13 days Doubles Championship: No. 7 seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut take on No. 5 seeds Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus for the first time. Both teams won their respective groups with the Frenchmen the only unbeaten players (singles or doubles) in this year’s tournament.

Herbert and Mahut are trying to become the first Frenchmen to capture the Nitto ATP Finals title since Michael Llodra and Fabrice Santoro in 2005 Shanghai. Klaasen is trying to become the first South African to win the tournament title since Ellis Ferreira in 2001 Bangalore (w/Leach). Klaasen was a finalist (w/Ram) in 2016. Venus, who was a semi-finalist in 2017 (w/Harrison), is trying to become the first player from New Zealand to capture the title in tournament history.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

Mahut begins his busy day at 11 am against countryman Paul Henri-Mathieu. The Frenchmen were born nine days apart in 1982 and live in Boulogne-Billancourt. But despite their proximity in age and residence, Mahut and Mathieu have only met twice on the ATP World Tour. The older Mathieu leads 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head rivalry. Mahut is enjoying a milestone week in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The two-time champion began his title defense with a win over qualifier Lukas Lacko on Monday, the same day that he became the second World No. 1 from France in doubles or singles. Mahut joined Hall-of-Famer Yannick Noah, who spent 19 weeks atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings during the 1986 and 1987 seasons. Because his regular partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert is playing singles in Stuttgart this week, Mahut is teaming with World No. 10 Rohan Bopanna for the first time. They make their debut Wednesday in the third match on Court 1.

World No. 1 Andy Murray, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and No. 5 Kei Nishikori all look to advance to the semi-finals at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. If Murray fails to qualify for the semi-finals, Novak Djokovic will finish 2016 as the World No. 1. See semi-final scenarios below. In the day session match, Murray and Wawrinka square off for the 17th time (Murray leads 9-7) and Murray won the last meeting in four sets in the semi-finals at Roland Garros on June 3. This is the second straight year they are meeting in the final round robin match at The O2. Last year Wawrinka won 76 64 to advance to the semi-finals for the third straight year. Murray enters on a 21-match winning streak and he has a 2-0 round robin record for the first time since his season finale debut in 2008 Shanghai where he went 3-0 and reached the semi-finals. Murray also reached the semi-finals at The O2 in 2010 and 2012.
