How have the Race to the ATP Finals standings changed this week?
While there were no shifts at all in the Top 13 of the race standings following last week’s ATP 500 events in Basel and Vienna, that doesn’t mean nothing has changed in the race, points-wise.
First of all, the four players in the best position for the last four spots in Turin—Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti, currently No. 5 to No. 8—are now separated by just 160 points, with Fritz at 3,835 and Musetti at 3,675. Last week, that spread was 350 points.
Second of all, the gap between that quartet and the rest of the field has grown this week, with Musetti now 480 points ahead of No. 9 Felix Auger-Aliassime. Last week, that gap was 340 points.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is the only player who makes any move among the Top 15 this week, rising from No. 17 to No. 14 after reaching the final in Basel, where he fell to Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca.
