Casper Ruud – 11th (2,735)
Ruud remains 11th in the Live Race, but has gained ground on Musetti after winning the title in Stockholm. The 26-year-old is the first Norwegian to triumph at the ATP 250 and is now 37-14 on the year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
Danii Medvedev – 13th (2,560)
Could the 29-year-old qualify for the year-end event for the seventh season in a row? The 2020 Nitto ATP Finals champion kept himself in contention by winning his first title in 882 days in Almaty, where he defeated Corentin Moutet in the final to improve to 2-1 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series. Medvedev will be looking for more valuable points at the ATP 500 in Vienna this week.
Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have already qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals, which will take place from November 9 to 16 at the Inalpi Arena in Turin.
