With Nadal probably not playing, the straggler is Fritz...Djokovic only needs 200 points net to catch him ..with Astana a 500 series and Paris, a 1000 pointer , I would guess Djokovic is safe now....

Plus he will want to make a point about that 7th ranking of his. Which is not real.

BTW. The ATP main page says about Djokovic: "As a 2022 Slam champ, qualifies if in Top 20". They mean for Turin.
I guess that settles it.

So weird that Medvedev is a question mark at this point. What a weird year for him.

Indeed. It was weird specially since he won the USO and made the Aussie finals, and I was expecting him to become a solid #1.
That operation and something else derailed him. (And I have no idea what the something else was).

Zverev won't go; he needs a bit more time to heal. A good showing by any of the 9-15 ranked players at Paris can clinch a spot. Plus, Novak has that Wimbledon title and we are still not sure if the ATP will honor the "Slam champion" rule.
So there are a few players that can make it. And Rafa's participation is not guaranteed; it will depend on his child arriving.
No chance Rafa goes.
Welp, reportedly he's going.

Like I said, all the time! :D
I am surprised. With the recent child, the slew of injuries, and the etc, I really thought he would not.
It simply shows that these three guys' competitive drives are off the scale. It is the sole major tournament Rafa has not won, so he will try again.

Nadal has never done well at the WTF and the court will be too fast too..don't expect him to be a force...the previous venue, London, was excruciatingly slow..and he didn't do well even there..

I know you mean "by his standards", but he has reached the final two times and the semis 4 times. His losses were to Roger and Nole, not unexpected.
But I don't see him doing anything here this year. He has been off the court for too long. Paris will let us know how he is doing.

Yes, of course, by his incredibly high standards...

I just spent the last couple of minutes staring at last two posts trying to figure out why if "the field was set", we then had a post on how the last two spots are determined :)

Are these spots for alternates?
