Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals. This week’s Rolex Paris Masters will play a key role in deciding who will join.

Taylor Fritz is in good shape to return to the season finale, which will be played from 10-17 November, for the second time. In 2022, the American reached the semifinals in Turin.

Fifth-placed Fritz has 4,290 points and can secure his place in the year-end tournament by making the quarter-finals at the season finale of the ATP Masters 1000. There are other cases where he would have entered the tournament earlier based on the performances of the players below him in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin.

Sixth-ranked Novak Djokovic is not competing in Paris. With the Serbian 380 points behind the American, Fritz is guaranteed to finish the regular season ahead of him in the Live Race.

Only 290 points separate seventh-placed Casper Ruud (3,845 points) and ninth-placed Alex de Minaur (3,555 points). Ruud (2) and Rublev (4) have played several times in the Nitto ATP Finals in the past, while De Minaur is trying to make his tournament debut.

“I’m looking over my shoulder because there are many boys who can do very well here and next week are also important,” said Ruud. “So there’s still going to be a few days or weeks of kind of sleeping and thinking about it. But that’s okay.

“I’m in a position where if I do well it looks like I can qualify, especially if I do well this week. So I’ll think about myself, not think about what I can’t do.” t control what other players do. But it’s intense It’s going to be a really interesting race and a close race There’s a lot that can happen this week.

The three possible matches in the third round of the Rolex Paris Masters are Fritz against De Minaur, Ruud against Paul and Rublev against Tsitsipas. Each one will be critical not only in the competition, but also in the Live Race.
