PIF ATP Live Race to Turin, points from January 1, after Thursday’s matches, from ATP media records. Sinner is out for the season, so 9th is the last spot. Of the players outside the top seven, only Fritz and Paul can still add points.
Fritz must beat Alcaraz to stay in the race
Fritz, with 3,050 points, would move to 3,250 with a win, 16 more than Jodar. A loss would drop him behind both Jodar and Tiafoe on 3,390 points.
Alcaraz leads their head-to-head 6-1, and Fritz has the only win in the 2025 Laver Cup. The Spaniard advanced to the quarterfinals without playing Matteo Berettini withdrew with a sore handand played just one match this week, beating Alex Michelsen 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Even a win won’t make Fritz sure of his place. If Paul also beats Shelton, he can overtake Fritz to reach the finals (3375), and Fritz would then need the final himself (3500).
Paul has to beat Shelton while Tiafoe waits
With 2,925 points, Paul needs the final (3,375) to pass Jodar and the title (3,725) to overtake Tiafoe. He confronts Shelton, who? Artur Rinderknech won 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5). on Thursday. The two Americans played against each other in a 2-2 draw.
Tiafoe, who came out in the second round, remains with 3390 points. Paul and Fritz are in opposite halves of the draw and Tiafoe can only miss Turin if Paul wins the title by beating Fritz in the final.
What every aspirant needs in Paris
| Player: | Qualifies if: | Out if |
|---|---|---|
| Francis Tiafoe | Either Shelton or Alcaraz wins on Friday | Paul wins the title by defeating Fritz in the finals |
| Rafael Jodar | Shelton and Alcaraz both have wins on Friday | Fritz defeats Alcaraz or Paul reaches the finals |
| Taylor Fritz | He reaches the final, or semi-final, with Paul short of the final | He loses to Alcaraz, or in the semifinals, while Paul makes it to the finals |
| Tommy Paul | He makes it to the finals | He loses before the finale |
Calculated from ATP totals and points from each round. Paul and Fritz are on opposite sides of the draw.
What could Friday’s two quarterfinals decide?
If Shelton and Alcaraz both win, Tiafoe and Jodar qualify and the Turin squad is complete. If Fritz defeats Alcaraz, Jodar is out.
If Shelton beats Paul, Tiafoe qualifies, and a win for Fritz in the night session would also send Fritz to the Tour. If Paul beats Shelton and Alcaraz beats Fritz, Tiafoe qualifies and Paul needs a final to take the last spot from Jodar.
If Paul and Fritz both win, Jodar is out and Tiafoe has to wait.
