• Zverev leads the rankings with 8,650 points following his US Open victory over runner-up Ben Shelton.

Three Turin spots confirmed after US Open showdown

The qualification picture for the year-end ATP Finals in Turin has sharpened considerably following the conclusion of the US Open, with three players officially punching their tickets. Newly crowned champion Alexander Zverev added substantial distance between himself and the rest of the field after defeating Ben Shelton in the final at Flushing Meadows.

Zverev sits atop the leaderboard with 8,650 points, while second-placed Jannik Sinner holds 7,950 points. Both players have already surpassed the 5,070-point qualification cut. Although Carlos Alcaraz sits fourth in the standings with 4,050 points—trailing runner-up Shelton’s 4,430 points—the Spaniard is also fully qualified thanks to his victory at the Australian Open earlier in the season. With Zverev and Sinner having captured the remaining majors of 2026, Alcaraz is assured of a place as a Grand Slam champion.

The chase for the remaining top-eight berths

Shelton’s strong run to the final in New York firmly placed him in contention, even though he has not mathematically cleared the qualification cut. Directly behind the top four, Flavio Cobolli occupies fifth place with 3,530 points, closely pursued by Frances Tiafoe on 3,330 points and Arthur Fils on 3,150 points.

Daniil Medvedev currently holds the eighth and final qualifying spot with 2,780 points, but the margin separating the contenders remains razor-thin. Rafael Jodar trails Medvedev with 2,509 points, followed by Taylor Fritz at 2,480 points and Tommy Paul on 2,385 points. Felix Auger-Aliassime sits within striking distance on 2,365 points, while Novak Djokovic holds 15th position with 2,330 points, putting an extensive pack within a single deep tournament run of the top eight.

With major points available at upcoming events—including the Masters 1000 tournaments in Shanghai and Paris, alongside ATP 500 stops in Beijing, Tokyo, Basel and Vienna—the battle for the remaining five tickets to Turin remains entirely up for grabs.
