Alexander Zverev defeated Novak Djokovic in the final, 6–4, 6–3 to win the singles tennis title at the 2018 ATP Finals.[1] It was his first ATP Finals title.

Grigor Dimitrov was the defending champion, but he failed to qualify this year.[2]

Rafael Nadal withdrew from the event due to an abdominal injury and was replaced by John Isner. As a result of Nadal's withdrawal, Djokovic secured the year-end ATP no. 1 singles ranking.[3] Juan Martín del Potro qualified for the first time since 2013, but withdrew with a knee injury and was replaced by Kei Nishikori.[4]

Kevin Anderson and Isner made their ATP Finals debuts in this event.[5]
