"So many players behind me are playing well. Sinner has been playing great in recent weeks, Hurkacz is a great indoor player. It's great to be part of the tight race and in two weeks we will know."

The Norwegian will be happy to know that Sinner got knocked out by Alcaraz today which significantly boosts his chances for the Finals. Speaking on the match against Bublik he said:

“I got broken in the first game, which put me under pressure right away because he's a strong server who can hit some unbelievable returns as well. He hits big and got a couple of winners at the beginning and I wasn't completely ready. But I fought back and played very solid from 3-4 down in the first set."
