The drama for the last available spots at the ATP Finals is heating up. Up to four players are currently battling for the last three spots yet to be assigned. Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur, and Andrey Rublev are the ones who still do not know for certain if they will be able to attend. One of them will be left out.

So far, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Taylor Fritz are the players with a confirmed spot at the ATP Finals, which is a recognition of their consistency in the top elite. Now, it only remains to see what will happen this last week with tournaments to confirm who will compete in the Turin event.

- The uncertainty lies with Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is the only player with doubts about attending the event. Reports from Serbia suggest that his season has ended, and he has already indicated that his priority, after winning the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is solely the Grand Slam events and those where he represents Serbia.

The only scenario in which Nole could miss the ATP Finals is if Ruud reaches the semifinals of the ATP Metz and both De Minaur and Rublev win their tournaments this week, making it almost a miracle for it all to happen. What is certain is that Djokovic seems not overly concerned about his qualification, although he appears undecided about playing or not.

- Current Situation

Andrey Rublev is going through a poor streak of results, influenced by some physical issues as well. However, the Russian is under intense mental pressure to achieve the goal of qualifying for the ATP Finals, affecting his on-court performance negatively. Andrey needs to outscore De Minaur by 25 points by the end of the week to secure his qualification, as he currently ranks ninth in the race. To gain these 25 points advantage, he simply needs to progress one more round than De Minaur.

Casper Ruud is in a more comfortable position, hoping that his direct competitors do not have a great week to surpass him. Nevertheless, he will also aim to have a strong tournament despite his usual struggles on indoor courts. He leads De Minaur by 110 points.
