Carlos Alcaraz holds the lead in the Race to the ATP Finals in Turin following his triumph at the 2026 Australian Open, while Jannik Sinner sits in fourth position.<\/p>\n

The eight men who earn the most ranking points in the 2026 campaign will qualify for the season-ending ATP<\/a> Finals, which will be staged in Turin from 15 to 22 November.<\/p>\n

The prestigious tournament, which was first held in 1970, is staged on indoor hard-court at Inalpi Arena.<\/p>\n

Sinner is the reigning ATP Finals champion, having secured a record-breaking $5,071,000 for winning last year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

If a current-year Grand Slam winner finishes between ninth and 20th in the Race, they will take the eighth and final qualification spot.<\/p>\n

The players who finish ninth and 10th have the chance travel to Turin as alternates and replace any players who withdraw.<\/p>\n

World No 1 Alcaraz<\/a> has only played one event so far this year, and he secured 2,000 points for winning his maiden Australian Open crown.<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic, who fell to Alcaraz in a four-set championship match in Melbourne, sits second in the Race with 1,300 points.<\/p>\n
