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

The ATP Tour's final tournament of the regular season is just 11 days away, with several important storylines still unresolved. The year-end No. 1 ranking and the 2025 ATP Finals champion remain uncertain. One pressing question is the final composition of the eight-player lineup in Turin for the season-ending event.

So far, seven of the eight spots have been confirmed. The remaining place is contested in a close race between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti. The Canadian currently holds the eighth position in the official Race To Turin rankings, leading the Italian by only 160 points.

This margin remains ahead of the last regular season tournaments taking place this week in Athens and Metz.

Auger-Aliassime withdrew from the Moselle Open, citing a left-knee injury, while Musetti is preparing to compete in the inaugural Hellenic Championship, a new ATP 250 event held in Athens.

"The arithmetic here is slightly counterintuitive."

Both players must strategically navigate these final tournaments to secure their place in Turin.

Author's summary: The race for the final ATP Finals spot is a tight contest between Musetti and Auger-Aliassime, with injury and tournament choices playing critical roles as the regular season concludes.
