Carlos Alcaraz pulls further ahead in ATP Finals Race
The 2026 season is still young, but Carlos Alcaraz has already created distance at the top of the ATP Race to Turin.
After winning the Australian Open and lifting the Doha trophy, Alcaraz leads the standings with 2,500 points in the battle to qualify for the ATP Finals, which will be held from 15 to 22 November at the Inalpi Arena.
Novak Djokovic remains second on 1,300 points despite not playing since the Australian Open final. Alex de Minaur sits third with 985, while Ben Shelton is fourth on 950 following their ATP 500 title runs earlier this month.
Two-time defending ATP Finals champion Jannik Sinner moved up to fifth with 900 points after reaching the quarter-finals in Doha. Alexander Zverev is sixth on 840, while Tomas Martin Etcheverry climbed to seventh with 725 after his title in Rio. Jakub Mensik holds eighth place with 695.
Outside the current qualification spots are Alexander Bublik on 650, Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime on 615, and Lorenzo Musetti with 565.
Only the top eight at season’s end qualify automatically for Turin, with a Grand Slam champion ranked between ninth and 20th eligible to claim the final place.
There is still a long way to go this season, but Alcaraz has set the early pace and placed immediate pressure on the rest of the people.
