ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Zverev overtakes Alcaraz, Djokovic drops to 13th, Cobolli jumps to 4th
Alexander Zverev has climbed above Carlos Alcaraz in the Race to the ATP Finals in Turin after his triumph at the French Open, while Flavio Cobolli has also surged up the list.
World No 3 Zverev defeated Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 in the final at Roland Garros to claim his maiden Grand Slam title.
The 29-year-old, who has been ranked as high as second, is the first German man to win the French Open in the Open Era.
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.
