WHEN IS IT?

The ATP World Tour Finals are being held from November 13-20, 2016.

WHERE IS IT BEING HELD?

The season-ending tournament will take place at the O2 Arena in London. Here's all the info you need about the stadium.

WHO IS PLAYING?

New world number one Andy Murray is joined by Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Marin Cilic, Kei Nishikori, Milos Raonic, Gael Monfils, Dominic Thiem.

WHY SHOULD I CARE?

Is this the beginning of Andy Murray's dominant era, or merely a blip in Novak Djokovic's quest to become the GOAT?
Either way, few ATP World Tour Finals have attracted the interest of the 2016 edition - a surprising feat given the absence of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
If Djokovic wins the trophy in London without losing a match, he will definitely finish the year as world number one. But all other scenarios are a little confusing, given points are awarded for each round-robin victory, as you'll see below...

Murray: I've never had such a consistent year

PLAYER QUOTES

Andy Murray: "Obviously, I want to try and finish this season as best as possible. I haven't played too well at the O2 the last few years, so I want to come and do myself justice and play some good tennis. (via Sky Sports)
Novak Djokovic: "It's one of the reasons why I'm here, to try to do as best as I can and eventually fight for the No 1 spot in the world."
Stan Wawrinka (on becoming world number one in the future): "I don't think so. Right now I'm 31. I know I can beat every player, I need to do it more often in the year if I want to think about that, but so far I'm way off that."
