We had to wait until the final week of the ATP calendar with the tournaments in Metz and Athens to learn the identity of the 8th person in the Race, synonymous with the final spot for the ATP Finals.

While Lorenzo Musetti needed to win the title in the Greek capital to qualify, the Italian fell short in the final, meaning Felix Auger-Aliassime qualified in his place, thanks to a margin of just 45 points.

A minimal gap, yet larger than last year's between 8th and 9th in the rankings: Andrey Rublev had snatched the 8th place in 2024 by just 15 points ahead of Alex de Minaur.

However, thanks to Novak Djokovic's withdrawal from the 2024 and 2025 editions of the ATP Finals, this 9th place in the Race standings still guaranteed a spot in Turin.

Musetti Lorenzo

8e, 4040 points

Auger-Aliassime Felix

5e, 4245 points

7e, 4135 points

16e, 2520 points

4e, 4830 points

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
