Auger-Aliassime is still in the race for Nitto ATP Finals

So far, six players have already secured their places in the ATP Finals happening next month in Turin, Italy. With Nadal having already withdrawn from the remainder of the season, there are now four players and two spots left.

Auger-Aliassime thrashed Norrie in the second round at Vienna Open. Moreover, Andy Murray also defeated Hurkacz in the opening round. With this, mathematically, Auger-Aliassime can still qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals but it’ll be really challenging.

When asked about his chances, the Canadian stated, “That was an important win to stay in the Race. I think if I lost that match, the odds would have been very tough for me to qualify. It keeps me alive in the Race, but the road is still very long.”
