Who have made early moves in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin?<\/p>\n
We are four weeks into the new season and while it is still very much early days, a number of stars have made good starts in their quests to qualify for this year\u2019s Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> sits top of the pile after he made history at the Australian Open<\/a>. The 22-year-old became the youngest man in history to complete the Career Grand Slam, defeating Novak Djokovic<\/a> in four sets in the final. The Spaniard, who now has seven majors, is seeking his fourth consecutive appearance in Turin, where he reached the final last year.<\/p>\n Djokovic is second in the Live Race after he advanced to his first major final since Wimbledon<\/a> 2024. The 38-year-old Serbian became the first player to reach 400 Grand Slam wins en route to the championship match in Melbourne, while he also became the oldest Australian Open<\/a> finalist in the Open Era. Djokovic, a record seven-time Nitto ATP Finals<\/a> champion, is locked at 5-5 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head series against Alcaraz.<\/p>\n PIF ATP Live Race To Turin<\/a> (after Australian Open<\/a>)\u00a0<\/p>\n Below Djokovic, Alexander Zverev<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a> are well placed in third and fourth, respectively, following semi-final showings in Melbourne. Zverev, a two-time winner at the prestigious year-end event, led Alcaraz 5-3 in the fifth set but was unable to get over the line. Sinner will hope to return to Turin in November and lift the trophy for the third consecutive year.<\/p>\n Lorenzo Musetti<\/a>, Jakub Mensik<\/a>, Alex de Minaur<\/a> and Ben Shelton<\/a> round out the Top 8. Musetti reached the quarter-finals in Australia but was forced to retire when leading Djokovic by two sets. De Minaur and Shelton both advanced to the last eight in Melbourne, while 20-year-old Mensik reached the fourth round at a major for the first time. Musetti, De Minaur and Shelton all competed in Turin last year.<\/p>\n![\"\u201cATP\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/atp-no-1-club-banner-article.jpg\")
