Alexander Zverev currently leads the Race to Turin, having mathematically secured his place alongside Carlos Alcaraz.
Following the US Open, Alexander Zverev clinched the points needed to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, closely followed by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. However, the tournament lineup will see a notable shake-up since Sinner has confirmed he will miss the 2026 Finals due to injury, deferring his return to the tour until 2027.
Sinner's withdrawal means the eighth qualifying spot will roll down to the ninth-ranked player in the standings. This development significantly alters the landscape for contenders just outside the cutline, bringing a new chance for a qualification bid for Australia's Alex de Minaur and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
Further up the leaderboard, Ben Shelton sits in fourth place following a standout run to the US Open final, looking to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals for the second consecutive year. While Frances Tiafoe, Arthur Fils, and Daniil Medvedev round out the current top eight in a tightly contested field.
