3 Exciting Players Who Can Join Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Others as Battle for ATP World Tour Finals Heats Up

The 2023 tennis season is nearing its end. Over the past 10 months, fans have witnessed some eye-catching action from the likes of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. While the Serb has dominated this season, Alcaraz has had his chances and moments of joy. With just a handful of tournaments left, the battle for the final few spots in the ATP World Tour Finals is heating up. The year-ending tournament boasts of the eight best players of this season. Let’s find out who has qualified and who has a chance of making it to the grand event.

The ATP World Tour Finals will be held in Turin, Italy from 12 to 19 November. The tournament will boast exciting matchups between the best players in the world. While five players have already qualified, three spots are wide open and up for grabs.

Who will qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals alongside Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz?

World Number 1, Novak Djokovic, has had one of the best seasons of his career this year. He tops the Race to Turin chart and has already qualified for the year-ending championship. Following him is Alcaraz, who has performed consistently this year. He even won his maiden Wimbledon title, defeating Djokovic in the summit clash.

Joining Djokovic and Alcaraz are the likes of Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, and Andrey Rublev. The trio have had ups and downs this year, but have made it to Turin. Further, at the sixth spot on the race to Turin chart, lies Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greece star has been inconsistent throughout the year. But some big performances like reaching the Australian Open Final have ensured that he is a likely candidate to qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals.

American players might miss out

The likes of Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton are placed outside the top eight in the race to the Turin leaderboard. Additionally, they have had some disappointing results over the past few days that have seriously daunted their chances to qualify.

Comeback star, Alexander Zverev is stationed in the seventh spot and looks a likely candidate to make it to the ATP World Tour Finals. Despite a saddening injury affecting him last year, he has put it behind him to succeed.

Holger Rune will probably take the last spot on the finals. The youngster has had a consistent year, leaving alone some disappointing outings. Thus, Tsitsipas, Zverev, and Rune could be the players completing the ATP World Tour Finals field.

However, one Masters tournament, the Paris Masters is still left. And American players like Fritz can still qualify if they perform well and luck goes their way.
