Can Felix & Shapo Surge Into Turin Contention?

Spoiler:

Hurkacz in position to overtake Karatsev for eighth
There are only 16 players remaining in the Wimbledon singles draw, and many of them have an opportunity to insert themselves into the FedEx ATP Race To Turin picture. Will Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov do that during the second week?

The Canadian stars both are through to the fourth round at the All England Club for the first time. And by doing so, they have given themselves a great opportunity to surge closer to the top eight in the Race.

Top 10 - FedEx ATP Race To Turin (Through Wimbledon R3)

Player Points
1) Novak Djokovic 5,350
2) Stefanos Tsitsipas 4,570
3) Andrey Rublev 3,250
4) Alexander Zverev 3,195
5) Daniil Medvedev 3,020
6) Rafael Nadal 2,940
7) Matteo Berrettini 2,485
Aslan Karatsev 1,785
9) Hubert Hurkacz 1,650
T10) Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner 1,520
Auger-Aliassime began the tournament in 17th and Shapovalov was 22nd. But by advancing to the Round of 16, the close friends are now within striking range — Felix has 1,185 points and Denis has 1,095. Although that does not appear particularly close to eighth-placed Aslan Karatsev (1,785 points), each win the rest of the tournament comes with a lot of points

Auger-Aliassime plays fourth seed Alexander Zverev and Shapovalov faces eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut on Manic Monday. A fourth-round win will give the winner an additional 180 points (360 total) in the Race. Semi-finalists will then add another 360 points on top of that (720 total).

What helped the Canadians is that Karatsev, Casper Ruud and Jannik Sinner (1,520 each) all lost in the first round. That created an opening for players to claw into contention or even potentially into one of the top eight spots, which will determine the players who compete at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin from 14-21 November.

The player in the best position to capitalise is Miami champion Hubert Hurkacz. The Polish star began The Championships 11th in the Race, 40 points behind Ruud and Sinner. But the 24-year-old is now into ninth (1,650) and a win against second seed Daniil Medvedev will move him into eighth.

Bautista Agut (1,305) and Lorenzo Sonego (1,220) also have opportunities to make a move. Although neither man has previously competed in the Nitto ATP Finals, the opportunity would hit closest to home for Sonego, who is from Turin.

Five of the top eight players in the Race are still in Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic (5,350), Andrey Rublev (3,250), Alexander Zverev (3,195), Daniil Medvedev (3,020) and Matteo Berrettini (2,485). Since the Race this year determines year-end World No. 1, Novak Djokovic has a chance to grab a stranglehold in that battle. Berrettini, like Sinner and Sonego, is trying to earn a berth at the season finale, which will be held on home soil in Italy.

Mektic/Pavic First Team To Qualify For 2021 Nitto ATP Finals

Spoiler:

Croatian team have won seven titles in 2021

Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic have become the first doubles team to qualify for the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 14-21 November at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.

The Croatians booked their spots at the season finale on Tuesday with a 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-4 quarter-final victory over Marcelo Melo and Lukasz Kubot at The Championships, Wimbledon.

Mektic and Pavic have been red hot in 2021, in their first season as a team, winning seven titles and compiling a 46-5 match record.

They have lifted trophies this year at three ATP Masters 1000s — the Miami Open presented by Itau and the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters (d. Evans/Skupski both times), plus the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome (d. Ram/Salisbury). One ATP 500 at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam (d. Krawietz/Tecau) and three ATP 250s at the Antalya Open (d. Dodig/Polasek), Murray River Open in Melbourne (d. Chardy/Martin), Viking International Eastbourne (d. Ram/Salisbury).

Mektic and Pavic also finished as runners up at the Mutua Madrid Open (l. to Granollers/Zeballos) and the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (l. to Cabal/Farah).

Individually, Mektic has competed at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2018 (w/Peya) and last year the 32-year-old clinched the trophy with Wesley Koolhof at The O2 in London (d. Melzer/Roger-Vasselin). Pavic, 28, has qualified on three previous occasions, featuring in the round-robin stages in 2017-18 (w/Marach) and 2020 (w/Soares).

Berrettini Closes In On Turin Spot

Spoiler:

Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime make significant moves
Matteo Berrettini improved his chances of qualifying for the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals, to be held at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from 14-21 November, after a series of strong grass-court performances that culminated in the Italian reaching the Wimbledon final.

The 25-year-old saw his 11-match winning streak come to an end at the hands of Novak Djokovic, who won a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam trophy on Sunday at the All England Club. Berrettini has jumped up four places to third in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin.

Having qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals in 2019 and served as an alternate last year, Berrettini has 3,505 points in the year-to-date standings, behind only five-time former champion Djokovic (7,170) and 2019 titlist Stefanos Tsitsipas (4,570). The Roman captured his fifth ATP Tour title at the cinch Championships in London (d. Norrie) last month prior to becoming the first Italian man to reach a Grand Slam final since Adriano Panatta at 1976 Roland Garros.

Two players who reached the semi-finals at The Championships, Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz (2,190) and Canadian Denis Shapovalov (1,635), also made significant moves in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin.

Hurkacz, who beat Daniil Medvedev and Roger Federer at the grass-court major, has risen three places to eighth position, returning to the kind of form that helped him capture his first ATP Masters 1000 title in April at the Miami Open presented by Itau (d. Sinner). Shapovalov beat Andy Murray en route to the Wimbledon last four and has moved up to 10th place after a 12-spot rise. He is just 150 points behind Russian Aslan Karatsev, who sits in ninth (1,785).

Berrettini leads fourth-placed Russian Andrey Rublev (3,250) by 255 points, with 2018 Nitto ATP Finals winner Alexander Zverev (3,195), defending champion Medvedev (3,020) and Rafael Nadal (2,940) all firmly established in the Top 8 of the FedEx ATP Race To Turin.

Jannik Sinner, the 19-year-old Italian, also remains in strong contention to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time and sits one spot outside of the eight automatic qualification berths (1,510). Another #NextGenATP star, Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada, who lost to his good friend Berrettini in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, had moved up four positions to 13th on 1,365 points.
