Alex De Minaur’s path to the ATP finals

De Minaur currently sits ninth in the ‘Race To Turin’ to qualify for the ATP Finals, with only the top eight qualifying.

His only hope of qualifying for the ATP Finals is to leapfrog over a player ahead of him in the ‘Race to Turin’ or for a qualified player to withdraw.

Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters, so there is a chance he could pull out of the ATP Finals.

As for getting into the top eight, De Minaur will have to reach a minimum of the quarter-finals and hope eighth-placed Andrey Rublev bombs out early.

A result better than the quarter-final for De Minaur will give him a better place.

If he wins the Paris Masters, he is guaranteed to leapfrog over Djokovic.
