We are essentially three weeks away from the ATP Finals in Turin, which means that the race to Turin is entering its final stages. There aren’t many more points up for grabs, but this week (two ATP 500 events) and next week (an ATP 1000 Masters) will tell us which players will secure the final few spots available at the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

Lots of players are in contention, and in this piece, we’ll break down how things are looking before this final stretch of events. Three players have already qualified mathematically: Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic.<\/p>\n

Alexander Zverev at number four and Taylor Fritz at number five have strong chances to find themselves there, but beyond that, it’s an open battle. Let’s take a look at how the standings look for those who haven’t yet qualified.<\/p>\n

Player<\/b><\/td>\nPoints<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4) Alexander Zverev<\/td>\n4,280<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5) Taylor Fritz<\/td>\n3,835<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6) Ben Shelton<\/td>\n3,720<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7) Alex de Minaur<\/td>\n3,545<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8) Lorenzo Musetti<\/td>\n3,485<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9) Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/td>\n3,155<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10) Jack Draper<\/td>\n2,990<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
11) Casper Ruud<\/td>\n2,745<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12) Daniil Medvedev<\/td>\n2,610<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the players who are yet to qualify. Jack Draper is out of the race as he won’t compete again this year<\/a>. The rest are in the race, including Casper Ruud and Daniil Medvedev, who kept their chances alive by winning events<\/a> in the previous week.<\/p>\n

Medvedev won the Almaty event while Ruud won the Stockholm event. They will have to push hard, though, because as we noted, there aren’t that many points available anymore. This week’s events give 500 points to the winners, next week’s event gives 1000 points to the winner, and the events after that give 250 points to the winners.<\/p>\n

It’s unlikely either will win all of those, so getting to Musetti will be quite hard. Out of the whole field, they tend to have the lowest chances simply because of the low probability that they will get as many points as they need.<\/p>\n

Felix Auger-Aliassime has a decent chance of overtaking Musetti because, generally, he’s considered the better indoor hard court player than the Italian. Both were in action in Antwerp, and Musetti lost quite early while Auger-Aliassime won the event.<\/p>\n
