ATP Desk: Musetti and Rune glide in Stockholm before Thursday's Nitto ATP Finals draw in Turin
Lorenzo Musetti drops only five games against Toby Samuel while eight Turin qualifiers await group placement at 12:00 p.m. CET.
Third seed Lorenzo Musetti turned Tuesday’s Round of 16 clash at Stockholm’s Kungliga Tennishallen into swift business, dispatching Toby Samuel 6-1, 6-4 to advance into the quarter-finals. Former Stockholm champion Holger Rune matched that crisp indoor tempo, seeing off eighth seed Zizou Bergs 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday after seventh seed Ugo Humbert beat Adolfo Daniel Vallejo 6-4, 6-3 on Monday.
Alex Michelsen (6-3, 6-2 vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo), Alejandro Tabilo (7-6, 2-6, 7-5 vs Lorenzo Sonego) and Miomir Kecmanovic (7-6(4), 4-6, 6-4 vs Arthur Rinderknech) also notched confirmed wins in the Swedish capital before Wednesday’s Round of 16 slate featuring Taylor Fritz and Cameron Norrie.
All roads lead south to Italy tomorrow: on Thursday, 12 November, at 12:00 p.m. CET (6:00 a.m. ET), the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals draw divides the eight Turin qualifiers into two groups ahead of Sunday’s opening matches (15-22 November). Alexander Zverev, fresh Paris champion Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe and Rafael Jodar await their round-robin assignments.
