Perhaps the biggest news is Daniil Medvedev entering the Top 15, jumping from No. 20 to No. 15 after another strong showing in China. Since his disappointing first-round exit at the US Open, the former No. 1 has now reached the quarterfinals in Hangzhou, the semifinals in Beijing and now another semifinal in Shanghai.
RACE TO THE ATP FINALS, TOP 15 (after Shanghai, players qualified in bold):
- No. 1: Carlos Alcaraz—11,040 points

- No. 10: Felix Auger-Aliassime—2,905 points
- No. 11: Casper Ruud—2,495 points
- No. 12: Holger Rune—2,490 points [+2]

- No. 15: Daniil Medvedev—2,360 points [+5]
Note: Jack Draper, who’s currently at No. 9 on the race standings, ended his season after the US Open due to an arm injury, so Auger-Aliassime is effectively first out from the Top 8.
