With just two weeks to go until the Nitto ATP Finals, the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin is reaching a climax. ATPTour.com looks at the movers of the week as of Monday 27 October, following ATP 500 events in Basel and Vienna.

Alex de Minaur – seventh (3,745 points)
The Australian has cemented his spot in seventh in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin after he reached his fifth tour-level semi-final of the season in Vienna. De Minaur did not drop a set en route to the last four before he lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in straight sets. Sinner leads De Minaur 12-0 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series.

De Minaur next competes in Paris and can qualify for the prestigious year-end event this week. The 26-year-old is aiming to make his second consecutive appearance in Turin and is currently 540 points clear of ninth-placed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is the first player outside the cut.

Lorenzo Musetti – eighth (3,685)
Musetti gained a crucial 200 points in his quest to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in Vienna, where he reached the semi-finals. The Italian beat Hamad Medjedovic, Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Corentin Moutet at the ATP 500 event and is now 480 points clear of Auger-Aliassime. Musetti is hoping to make his debut at home in Turin and join countryman Jannik Sinner in Italy.

Felix Auger-Aliassime – ninth (3,205)
After winning the title in Brussels, Auger-Aliassime’s quest in Basel ended at the quarter-final stage, when he was forced to retire at the hard-court event due to injury. Auger-Aliassime will need a deep run in Paris if he is to force his way into the Top 8. There are 250 points available following Paris in Athens and Metz.

Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev have already qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals, taking place from 9-16 November at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
