The Race to the 2025 ATP Finals is nearing the finish line, and the closing stages of the Paris Masters will decide which player takes the eighth spot in Turin.<\/p>\n
Seven players have qualified for the ATP<\/a> Finals, and Lorenzo Musetti, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Alexander Bublik and Daniil Medvedev remain in contention.<\/p>\n Auger-Aliassime, Bublik and Medvedev are all still competing in Paris, while Musetti \u2014 who currently occupies the No 8 spot \u2014 lost in his opening match.<\/p>\n The ATP Finals is the biggest tournament in men\u2019s tennis outside the four Grand Slams, and it has been staged at the Palasport Olimpico in Turin, Italy since 2021.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner is the reigning champion, having won his maiden title at the season-ending championships in 2024.<\/p>\n Prior to the Paris Masters, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev had all qualified for the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n Taylor Fritz became the fifth man to book a spot in Turin when Lorenzo Musetti fell in his opening match in Paris.<\/p>\n Ben Shelton and Alex de Minaur qualified on Thursday after they defeated Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov respectively in the last 16.<\/p>\n Why Jannik Sinner won\u2019t be the top seed at ATP Finals even if he returns to No 1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Valentin Vacherot set for another stunning rankings breakthrough with Paris Masters run<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Musetti looked a clear favourite to claim the eighth and final qualification spot heading into Paris, but his second round loss to Italian compatriot Lorenzo Sonego left the door open.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old remains eighth, and he can only be overtaken if Felix Auger-Aliassime reaches the final in Paris.<\/p>\n Auger-Aliassime, who is 290 points adrift of Musetti, will face Valentin Vacherot in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik both need Auger-Aliassime to fall in the quarter-finals to remain in contention in the Race.<\/p>\n If Auger-Aliassime does lose to Vacherot, one of Medvedev or Bublik could move above him into the No 9 position if they win the Paris Masters.<\/p>\n Medvedev and Bublik cannot catch Musetti, so they can finish no higher than ninth. They would, therefore, need a player who has qualified for the ATP Finals to withdraw in order to feature.<\/p>\n This is a possibility as there is uncertainty over the participation of Djokovic \u2014 who pulled out of last year\u2019s event after qualifying.<\/p>\n Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was ruled out of the Race after his third round defeat to Zverev on Thursday.<\/p>\n 1) Carlos Alcaraz, 11,050 \u2013 Q (Lost in Paris Masters 2R) READ NEXT: Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s \u2018listless\u2019 Paris Masters loss came after his \u2018hunger\u2019 was questioned by ex-ATP star<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post ATP Rankings Race to Turin: Ben Shelton & Alex de Minaur qualify as 4 players remain in contention<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Race to the 2025 ATP Finals is nearing the finish line, and the closing stages of the Paris Masters will decide which player takes the eighth spot in Turin.
