Sinner Surges Into Nitto ATP Finals Contention

Spoiler:

Italian climbs into Top 10 in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin
What a difference a week can make. Jannik Sinner arrived in Washington on a four-match losing streak, having just fallen to World No. 132 Christopher O’Connell in Atlanta.

Five victories and a Citi Open title later, the Italian was crowned the first teenage champion at an ATP 500 event. A 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 triumph over Mackenzie McDonald capped a welcome resurgence of form and importantly catapulted Sinner into 10th place in the FedEx ATP Race to Turin, moving him into contention for a spot at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 14-21 November.

Sinner could join countryman Matteo Berrettini as one of two Italians to qualify for the season finale, which will be staged in Italy this year for the first time. The 19-year-old stands to add crucial points in coming weeks as the North American hard-court swing turns to ATP Masters 1000 events in Toronto and Cincinnati ahead of the season's final Grand Slam at the US Open.

Sinner has not yet won a main-draw match in Cincinnati or Flushing Meadows and makes his debut this week at the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers in Toronto against Australian qualifier James Duckworth or American Taylor Fritz in the second round.

Novak Djokovic is the only player who has sealed his place at the Nitto ATP Finals, for which eight players will qualify. The Serbian (7,170) leads the Race ahead of Stefanos Tsitsipas (4,660), Matteo Berrettini (3,505) and Andrey Rublev (3,250).

Reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion Daniil Medvedev (3,020) is well-positioned to make another appearance at the prestigious year-end event. Currently sixth in the Race, he enters the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers as the top seed.

Casper Ruud (2,270) has made huge inroads in the past month to put himself in eighth in the Race. The Norwegian star completed a clay-court hat-trick with victories in consecutive weeks in Bastad, Gstaad and Kitzbühel, becoming the first player to accomplish the feat in a decade. The 22-year-old trails seventh-placed Rafael Nadal (2,985) by 715 points in the Race.

Only 250 points separate Ruud and Sinner (2,020), with Miami champion Hubert Hurkacz (2,190) sitting between them in ninth place. Sinner jumped past Aslan Karatsev, Denis Shapovalov and Cameron Norrie with his Citi Open title run this week.

No tak, przecież po dwie wygrane w grupie w dwóch ostatnich turniejach to każdy patałach by ogarnął. A serwis na mecz z przyszłym zwycięzcą to już w ogóle nie ma znaczenia.

[DUN I LOVE]

Przykro patrzeć jak wyhamował z nabijaniem punktów Danił po AO.

[Barty]

Dobrze, że już więcej cegły nie gramy, powinni Ruuda przeskoczyć. Chyba że gość zacznie grać challki tydzień w tydzień.

Zverev Surges Past Rublev & Berrettini In Race

Spoiler:

The German moves into fourth place
Alexander Zverev won his fifth ATP Masters 1000 title on Sunday at the Western & Southern Open, and by doing so made a big move in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin.

Thanks to the 1,000 points he earned in Cincinnati, the 24-year-old climbed from sixth to fourth in the Race, moving past Andrey Rublev and Matteo Berrettini. Zverev now has 4,195 points and is within 185 points of third-placed Daniil Medvedev, who reached the semi-finals in Ohio.

The 17-time tour-level titlist is trying to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals — which will be held in Turin from 14-21 November — for the fifth consecutive year. Zverev has wins against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in his career at the season finale, which he won in 2018.

FedEx ATP Race To Turin Standings (as of 23 August)

Player Points
1) Novak Djokovic 7,170
2) Stefanos Tsitsipas 5,380
3) Daniil Medvedev 4,380
4) Alexander Zverev 4,195
5) Andrey Rublev 3,940
6) Matteo Berrettini 3,595
7) Rafael Nadal 2,985
Casper Ruud 2,630
9) Hubert Hurkacz 2,460
10) Jannik Sinner 2,075
Rublev, who reached his second Masters 1000 final, jumped ahead of Berrettini by 345 points as he tries to qualify for the season finale for the second consecutive year. Berrettini is also attempting to earn a spot at the year-end championships for the second time (2019) in the event’s first year in Italy.

There was no movement this week between positions seven and 14. But with seventh-placed Nadal announcing the end of his season, that will make the battle for one of the final positions at the Nitto ATP Finals even more fierce.

Norwegian Casper Ruud, who made the quarter-finals in Cincinnati, is in eighth place with 2,630 points, and Miami champion Hubert Hurkacz of Poland is 170 points behind in ninth place with 2,460 points.

The only player who has qualified is World No. 1 Novak Djokovic (7,170 points). Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals champion, is in second place with 5,380 points.

Ram/Salisbury Qualify For 2021 Nitto ATP Finals

Spoiler:

Toronto champions will compete in Turin
Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury have become the second doubles team to qualify for the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 14-21 November at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.

The American-British duo booked their spots at the season finale on Thursday with a 6-3, 6-4 win against John Millman and Thiago Monteiro in the second round of the US Open.

Ram and Salisbury are now 32-13 on the season. Their lone title of the season came at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, an ATP Masters 1000 event that was held in Toronto. They also advanced to the Australian Open final and the Wimbledon semi-finals.

This will be Ram and Salisbury's third consecutive appearance in the Nitto ATP Finals. They own a 3-3 record at the event and reached the semi-finals last year.

The first team to qualify for the season finale was Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, who have claimed nine tour-level trophies in 2021.

Felix Surges Into Nitto ATP Finals Contention

Spoiler:

Berrettini and Sinner also in the mix for Turin spot

Felix Auger-Aliassime has jumped into contention for a spot at the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals, to be held at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from 14-21 November.

Ten days ago, the Canadian was in 15th position in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin, but after a series of composed performances, Auger-Aliassime finds himself in 10th place on 2,320 points (factoring in points earned at the US Open).

Still alive at Flushing Meadows, the 21-year-old has become the first Canadian man to reach the US Open semi-finals in the tournament’s history (since 1881) following wins over the likes of Roberto Bautista Agut, Frances Tiafoe and Carlos Alcaraz. Auger-Aliassime is also the youngest man to advance to the last four since Juan Martin del Potro lifted the trophy in 2009.

Should he beat Daniil Medvedev on Thursday for a place in his first major championship final, Auger-Aliassime will rise up to eighth spot. With seventh-placed Spaniard Rafael Nadal done for 2021, effectively the cut-off for the prestigious season finale is ninth in the Race. Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz is currently in that position, on 2,505 points, just 145 points ahead of Auger-Aliassime.

Since Roland Garros, Auger-Aliassime has won 19 of 26 matches, including a run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals (l. to Berrettini) in July. The Canadian, who added Toni Nadal to his coaching team in December 2020, has also advanced to two ATP Tour finals this year at the Murray River Open in Melbourne (l. to Evans) in February and at the MercedesCup in Stuttgart (l. to Cilic) in June.

Latest FedEx ATP Race To Turin Standings (as of 8 September 2021)

Player Points
1) Novak Djokovic* 7,530
2) Stefanos Tsitsipas 5,470
3) Daniil Medvedev* 5,100
4) Alexander Zverev* 4,555
5) Andrey Rublev 4,030
6) Matteo Berrettini* 3,955
7) Rafael Nadal 2,985
Casper Ruud 2,675
9) Hubert Hurkacz 2,505
10) Felix Auger-Aliassime* 2,320
* Still active at the US Open

Two Italians — Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner — both remain firmly in contention to secure a spot at the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals. Factoring in points earned so far at the US Open, Berrettini, who has reached three straight major championship quarter-finals (or better), sits in sixth position in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin (3,955 points). Sinner, who fell in the US Open fourth round (l. to Zverev) on Monday, is currently in 11th place (2,255) with a little more than two months to go in the regular ATP Tour season.

The 25-year-old Berrettini, who first qualified for the season finale in 2019 — when the event was held at The O2 in London — has captured two ATP Tour titles this season at the Serbia Open in Belgrade (d. Karatsev) and at the cinch Championships in London (d. Norrie). Wimbledon finalist Berrettini is now only 75 points behind fifth-placed Russian Andrey Rublev (4,030).

Sinner, the 2019 Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals champion in Milan, has continued to improve this year and the 20-year-old has won two tour-level trophies at the Great Ocean Road Open in Melbourne (d. Travaglia) and also his first ATP 500 crown at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. (d. McDonald) last month.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has already stamped his ticket for Turin, where the Serbian will attempt to capture a record-equalling sixth Nitto ATP Finals crown. Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas is second (5,470), while reigning champion Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev — who sit in third and fourth places (on 5,100 and 4,555 points) respectively — are still competing at the US Open.

Norway’s Casper Ruud, who completed a hat-trick of clay-court titles in consecutive weeks at Bastad, Gstaad and Kitzbühel, and Hubert Hurkacz of Poland both have an excellent opportunity to qualify for the season finale for the first time. Ruud is in eighth spot (2,675).
