ATP Race to Turin: Ruud skips over Hurkacz for 8th spot after San Diego sucess

Four spots at the ATP Finals in Turin are available and the fight for the final four spots is heating up with Casper Ruud currently occupying the 8th spot.

Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev are safe for the ATP Finals in Turin but the remaining four spots are up for grabs. Many players have a chance to secure a spot in Turin but the fight will be an epic one between several players. Andrey Rublev is currently 5th and he is pretty safe for Turin despite not mathematically being in yet.

Matteo Berrettini is currently 6th and the Italian will certainly be present in Turin enjoying the support of the native crowd. Nadal occupies number 7 but he is out and he won't play at the event. Ruud is at 8 jumping over Hurkacz after his San Diego triumph with a separation of about 200 points.
