Change in the casting for the ATP Finals that will take place from November 13 to 20 in Turin! While Felix Auger-Aliassime and Andrey Rublev were the last two to secure their place, the withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz following his injury in the quarter finals of the Rolex Paris Masters, directly benefits Taylor Fritz. The American, 9th at the Race, will make his first appearance in this competition. Hubert Hurkacz seemed to be in a good position to be the first substitute in case of another withdrawal, but Rune came to beat him to the punch. With his first Masters 1000 title in Bercy, the Dane passed the Pole by six points at the Race, just enough to take his place.
Rafael Nadal, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev and Taylor Fritz are the eight qualified players. “After being evaluated by my medical team, this is unfortunately the result of my injury: a tear of the internal oblique muscle of the abdomen with an estimated recovery time of six weeks. Unfortunately, I will not be able to play in the ATP Finals or the Davis Cup. It is hard and painful for me to miss these two events, which are so important to me, but all I can do is be positive and focus on my recovery. Thank you for the support!” said the world No. 1 Alcaraz, who could lose his place at the end of the season.
