ATP finals Turin
Still a battle going on for the 8th place. Musetti now in the final in Athens but needs to beat Nole in the final to get the last spot. Otherwise Felix Auger-Aliassime gets it.
A battle for world no 1 in Turin.
"Alcaraz leads Sinner by 1,050 points in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin. Whoever finishes Turin with more points in the Live Race will be year-end No. 1.
Carlos Alcaraz must earn more than 450 points in Turin to guarantee himself year-end No. 1 regardless of what Sinner earns. To do that he can:
• Sweep his round-robin matches.
• Reach the final while winning two round-robin matches or one round-robin match.
To have any chance of finishing year-end No. 1, Sinner must win the title. There are different permutations of how he can accomplish this.
If Alcaraz wins 0 matches in Turin, Sinner:
• Must win the title while winning at least one-round robin match.
If Alcaraz wins 1 round-robin match in Turin and does not reach the final, Sinner must:
• Win at least two round-robin matches
• Go on to win the title
If Alcaraz wins 2 matches in Turin and does not reach the final, Sinner must:
• Win the title as an undefeated champion"

Certainly should be interesting :)
Meanwhile the last 2 places are still open to debate.
Currently Musetti, with his run to the Final in Athens, has overtaken FAA for 8th place.
But Djokovic, who happens to live in Athens, might opt not to play which would given
both 7th and 8th places to Musetti and FAA. If Djoko does decided to participate he's
playing his first RR match on Monday so only has one day off to get to Turin.
It was always the Paris Masters that decided the final standings, with a week 'off' the Calendar
for the top 8 to get to the Tour Final venue to do press, promotions and acclimatise.
Adding in these 2 250's is a nonsense IMHO.
:pirate:
Nole won in a thriller so at the moment Musetti has not made the cut for the top 8 in the finals as he needed to win. But we are left in suspenders to see if Nole will play Turin.
Hoperfully Djokovic will announce intention soon, certainly seemed long match. Whilst not surprised a pity for Musetti.
Nole, despite winning in Athens, withdraws with a shoulder injury...
So Musetti is in afterall. Nole said something to him at the net. Maybe he told him then.
