Home star Andy Murray will open the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday by taking on US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro in the first match in London.
Murray and Del Potro will take to the court not before 1415 GMT on Sunday for the first singles match of the season-ending event.
Murray leads their head-to-head record 4-1, although they have yet to face each other on an indoor hardcourt.
World number one Roger Federer will tackle Fernando Verdasco in the second Group A match later in the day at the O2 Arena.
Organisers have also announced the order of play for Monday's action, which will see the players in Group B enter the fray.
Rafael Nadal will take on Robin Soderling in the afternoon before title favourite Novak Djokovic faces Nikolay Davydenko.
Nadal will be seeking his 400th career win on the ATP Tour against a player who stunned the tennis world by beating him in the last 16 of this year's French Open.
Djokovic is much fancied for the title having won back-to-back tournaments this month in Basle and Paris, beating both Federer and Nadal in the process.
Group A will continue on Tuesday and Thursday, with Group B matches on Wednesday and Friday.
The top two in each group qualify for Saturday's semi-finals with the final on Sunday, November 29.
