ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Sinner opens up big lead, Djokovic drops to 7th, Fils soars to No 4, Cobolli climbs
Jannik Sinner has opened up a big lead in the Race to the ATP Finals in Turin after he continued his sensational run by winning the 2026 Madrid Masters.
World No 1 Sinner destroyed third-ranked Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 in just 58 minutes in the Madrid Open final to secure his maiden title in Spain.
The Italian’s triumph saw him become the first player to win five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and it extended his winning streak to 23 matches.
What is the Race to Turin?
The eight ATP players who earn the most ranking points in a season qualify for the prestigious season-ending ATP Finals, which will be staged in Turin from 15 to 22 November.
If a current-year Grand Slam winner finishes between ninth and 20th in the Race, they will take the eighth and final qualification spot.
The yearly ranking list that calculates this qualification battle is known as the Race to Turin.
The ATP Finals, which was first held in 1970, is staged on indoor hard-court at the Inalpi Arena.
