Look ahead to day four of the 2024 ATP Finals with The Tennis Gazette, as we look at the full order of play and how to watch live as Alexander Zverev meets Casper Ruud.

The two players with winning records in the John Newcombe Group headline the fourth day of play in Turin. Zverev kicked off his ATP Finals campaign with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Andrey Rublev. Ruud started his bid for a first ATP Finals title with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Carlos Alcaraz.

Rublev and Alcaraz will also hope to kick their quests into gear when they meet on day four of the 2024 ATP Finals. The Russian and Spaniard risk seeing their campaigns reach an early end with a defeat, while qualification to the semi-finals may be on offer to Zverev and Ruud.

Ruud tops the John Newcombe Group standings going into day four of the 2024 ATP Finals and each player’s second match. His 13 games won to six in Ruud’s straight sets victory over Alcaraz to open his 2024 ATP Finals campaign puts the Dane above Zverev’s 12-8 record.

Alcaraz, meanwhile, props up the table due to his day two defeat. But the 2024 Wimbledon and French Open champion can surpass Rublev and possibly also Ruud or Zverev with a win over the Russian. If not, the Spaniard’s search for a first ATP Finals title may be over already.

So, with that in mind, The Tennis Gazette takes a look at the full order of play for day four of the 2024 ATP Finals and how fans in America can watch every match from Turin live on TV…

Carlos Alcaraz vs Andrey Rublev head-to-head record

The John Newcombe Group throws up only the third-ever career meeting thus far between Alcaraz and Rublev on day four of the 2024 ATP Finals. Both players have also taken one win each to date, but Alcaraz holds one advantage with his win coming on an indoor hard court.

It was even at the 2023 ATP Finals that Alcaraz secured his first, and so far only, victory over Rublev. The pair then met again at the 2024 running of the ATP Masters 1,000 Madrid, with the Russian seeking revenge against the Spaniard over three sets on the outdoor clay court.

Alexander Zverev vs Casper Ruud head-to-head record

Zverev and Ruud have become regular foes in recent years with their contest on day four of the 2024 ATP Finals the sixth time they have shared a court. It is even the seventh time that they have been drawn against each other but Ruud withdrew before their debut encounter.

Ruud had to pull out of what was scheduled to be his first meeting with Zverev on the ATP Tour at the 2021 Mexican Open after suffering a right wrist injury while warming up. It gave the German a walkover win and Zverev would also beat Ruud in their first two actual games.
