What tennis matches are being played today? Live scores and schedule for December 1, 2025

Today is December 1, 2025, and the tennis calendar is buzzing with action across three continents. If you’re wondering which matches are happening right now, here’s the full breakdown of live and upcoming games on the ATP and WTA tours - no fluff, just the facts you need to follow the action.

ATP Tour: Finals Week in Turin

The ATP Finals are in full swing at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy. This is the season-ending championship for the top eight singles players and doubles teams. No regular tour matches are happening elsewhere - all eyes are on Turin.

Today’s singles schedule features two semifinal matches:

1. Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz - 12:00 PM local time (11:00 PM AEDT). Sinner, the world No. 1, is chasing his first ATP Finals title after winning five titles this year. Alcaraz, the defending champion, is playing his best tennis since returning from injury. This is the rematch of their epic Wimbledon final - but this time, it’s on indoor hard court.
2. Novak Djokovic vs. Daniil Medvedev - 5:00 PM local time (4:00 AM AEDT). Djokovic, 38, is making his 13th appearance at the Finals. He’s already guaranteed a top-two finish in the year-end rankings. Medvedev, the 2020 champion, is looking to bounce back after a rough second half of the season.

Both matches are live on ESPN, beIN Sports, and the ATP app. Sinner and Alcaraz are playing on Center Court, where the crowd has been electric all week. The match is expected to last over three hours - it’s already trending on social media.

WTA Finals: Riyadh’s Big Stage

On the women’s side, the WTA Finals are happening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The tournament is in its second year here and has drawn the biggest names in women’s tennis.

Today’s semifinals:

1. Iga Świątek vs. Coco Gauff - 11:00 AM local time (8:00 PM AEDT). Świątek, the world No. 1 and 2024 Roland Garros champion, has lost only one match since August. Gauff, the 2023 US Open winner, is playing her best clay-to-hard transition ever. Their last meeting was in the US Open semifinal - Gauff won in three sets. This one will be tighter.
2. Aryna Sabalenka vs. Jessica Pegula - 5:00 PM local time (2:00 AM AEDT). Sabalenka, the reigning Australian Open champion, has been dominant on hard courts this year. Pegula, who reached the US Open final in 2024, is looking for her first WTA Finals title. They’ve played six times this year - Sabalenka leads 5-1.

The matches are streamed on Amazon Prime Video in North America, Sky Sport in Europe, and beIN Sports in Asia and Australia. The Riyadh venue has 12,000 seats, and tickets sold out weeks ago. Fans are wearing national flags - it’s one of the most visually striking events on tour.

ITF Women’s World Tennis Tour: Futures in the Philippines

While the WTA Finals grab headlines, the ITF circuit is quietly churning out tomorrow’s stars. Today, 15 matches are happening in Manila, Philippines, at the $60K ITF Women’s World Tennis Tour event.

Look out for:

• Emilie Boulard (FRA) vs. Lin Zhu (CHN) - Round of 16. Boulard, 19, is ranked No. 217 and has won three ITF titles this year. Zhu, 20, is a rising junior who reached the Australian Open girls’ final in January.
• Maya Joint (AUS) vs. Yuki Naito (JPN) - Quarterfinal. Joint, 18, is from Adelaide - same city as the Australian Open’s practice courts. She’s been climbing the ranks since winning the 2024 US Open girls’ doubles title.

These matches are free to watch on the ITF Tennis YouTube channel. They’re not televised, but scouts from top academies are in the stands. Many of these players will be on the WTA Tour in 2026.

Why Today Matters

December 1 is more than just another day of tennis. It’s the final day before the year-end rankings freeze. Whoever wins the ATP Finals will be crowned the 2025 year-end No. 1. Sinner is currently ahead - but if Alcaraz wins, he’ll take the top spot by 1,200 points.

On the WTA side, Świątek needs to win to lock in her third consecutive year-end No. 1. If Gauff wins, she’ll jump to No. 2 - the highest ranking of her career.

These aren’t just matches. They’re legacy-defining moments. The winners walk away with $4.8 million and a trophy that hangs in their home for life. The losers? They still get $1.2 million - but they’ll spend the next six months trying to prove they belong.

What’s Next After Today

After the finals conclude on Sunday, the tours go quiet until January. The Australian Open starts on January 13, 2026. That’s 43 days away. Players will rest, train, and fine-tune their games. But today? Today is about who finishes the year strong.

If you’re watching, you’re watching history. Sinner could become the first man since Djokovic to win the ATP Finals three years in a row. Gauff could become the youngest WTA Finals champion since Martina Hingis in 1997. These are the moments tennis fans remember forever.
