Jannik Sinner<\/a> didn\u2019t just lift another trophy on Sunday at the BNP Paribas Open<\/a>, but he also surged to second in the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin.<\/p>\n Arriving in California without a final appearance in 2026, Sinner emphatically rewrote that narrative. Producing a flawless run in Indian Wells, the 24-year-old etched his name in the history books, becoming only the third player to complete the full set of all six hard-court ATP Masters 1000 crowns, joining Novak Djokovic<\/a> and Roger Federer<\/a>. The victory also delivered a valuable 1,000 points, strengthening his position in the Live Race.<\/p>\n A two-time defending champion at the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>, Sinner has his sights set on a return to Turin this November. There, he will look to achieve a rare feat and become the first player since Djokovic (2012\u20132015) to win three consecutive titles at the prestigious season finale.<\/p>\n Medvedev is also well placed in the Live Race after he reached his third Indian Wells final. The 30-year-old is third on 1,650 points and is aiming to compete in Turin after he let slip his six-year qualification streak in 2025.<\/p>\n Medvedev upset Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the semi-finals in California and now leads the Tour with 18 wins in 2026. Earlier this season, the 2020 Nitto ATP Finals<\/a> champion lifted trophies in Dubai and Brisbane.<\/p>\n PIF ATP Live Race To Turin<\/a> (after Indian Wells)\u00a0<\/p>\n Alcaraz, Djokovic, Alexander Zverev<\/a>, Alex de Minaur<\/a>, Ben Shelton<\/a> and Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a> complete the Top 8 after 10 weeks of the 2026 season. All six have competed at the prestigious year-end event in the past, with Djokovic a record seven-time titlist.<\/p>\n Jakub Mensik<\/a>, Alexander Bublik<\/a> and Learner Tien<\/a> are ninth, 10th and 12th, respectively, and are all trying to qualify for the first time. Mensik and Bublik suffered third-round defeats in Indian Wells, but 20-year-old lefty Tien advanced to the quarter-finals. Tien was the youngest American man to reach that stage in Indian Wells since his coach Michael Chang<\/a> in 1992.<\/p>\n![\"\u201cATP\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768199891_139_atp-no-1-club-banner-article.jpg\")
