Jannik Sinner still occupies the No 1 spot in the Race to the ATP Finals, but the Indian Wells Masters brought some interesting changes elsewhere in the top eight.
The 2025 ATP Finals will be the fifth edition of the tournament held in Turin, with the eight qualifiers competing for the biggest prize money pot in tennis.
Sinner secured a staggering $4,881,100 — a record payout for a tournament winner in the sport — for his undefeated title run at the 2024 year-end championships.
The eight men who earn the most ranking points in the 2025 season will qualify for the ATP Tour showpiece, which will be staged from November 9 to 16.
If a current-year Grand Slam winner finishes between ninth and 20th in the Race, they will take the eighth and final qualification spot.
Sinner, the current world No 1, leads the Race with the 2,000 points he collected for winning the Australian Open in January.
The year’s first major is the only tournament Sinner has played so far this season as he received a three-month ban (running from 9 February to 4 May) for failing two doping tests in March 2024.
Alexander Zverev — who lost to Sinner in the final of the Australian Open — is 435 points adrift of the Italian in second place.

Carlos Alcaraz — a semi-finalist in Indian Wells and titlist in Rotterdam this year — trails Draper by 130 points in fourth spot.
Felix Auger-Aliassime, who has won titles in Adelaide and Montpellier and finished as a runner-up in Dubai in a strong start to 2025, sits fifth on 1,145 points.
Ben Shelton and Alex de Minaur are sixth and seventh in the Race respectively, while Holger Rune has jumped into the eighth qualification spot after his runner-up result in Indian Wells.
