Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime Compete for Last ATP Finals Spot

Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime Battle for Final ATP Finals Spot

The ATP Tour’s regular season concludes in 11 days, yet several crucial stories still unfold in the 2025 tennis calendar. The year-end No. 1 ranking and the 2025 ATP Finals champion remain undecided.

Seven of the eight players for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin have already qualified, but the last position is still contested.

Close Race for the Last Spot

The battle for the final place is a tight contest between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti. The Canadian player currently holds the eighth position in the Race To Turin rankings, leading Musetti by a slim margin of 160 points.

This ranking snapshot comes just before the final tournaments of the regular season scheduled in Athens and Metz.

Recent Developments Affecting the Race

Auger-Aliassime withdrew from the Moselle Open due to a left-knee injury. Meanwhile, Musetti prepares to compete in the inaugural Hellenic Championship, a new ATP 250 event in Athens.

"The arithmetic here is slightly counterintuitive."

These moves add complexity to the predictions about who will secure the eighth and last qualification spot for the ATP Finals.
