Tennis Rankings
The Race to Turin is the season-only points table that decides the eight singles players at the Nitto ATP Finals. Unlike the world rankings it carries nothing over from last year: every player starts January on zero, and the Race closes after the Paris Masters in early November.
For the rolling 52-week table see the live ATP rankings, or the WTA rankings and the Race to the WTA Finals for the women’s game. All four tables sit in our tennis rankings hub.

How the Race to Turin Works
Points are earned at the same events and in the same amounts as the world rankings — 2,000 for a Grand Slam title, 1,000 for a Masters 1000 — but only from tournaments played in the current calendar year. Nothing from last season counts.
The top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams in the Race qualify. Ninth place counts for nothing, which is why the indoor swing in October and early November so often decides the last one or two seats: the Race closes after the Paris Masters, the final event before Turin.
Race to Turin vs the ATP Rankings
The two tables answer different questions. The ATP rankings use a rolling 52-week window, so they measure a player’s form over the last year whenever those points were won. The Race counts 2026 only, which makes it the sharper read on current-season form — and the only one that decides Turin.
Early in the year the two look very different. By November they converge, because most of a player’s rolling total has by then been earned in the current season.
The 2026 Season So Far
Titles drive the Race, and for most of 2026 one player set the pace. Jannik Sinner won all five Masters 1000 events staged before the US Open (Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome) and defended his Wimbledon title. He did not play the US Open, and that is where the Race changed hands: Alexander Zverev added the title in New York to his Roland Garros win in Paris and moved clear at the top on 8,650 points. Carlos Alcaraz, the Australian Open champion, sits fourth after a quarter-final exit to Ben Shelton, whose run to the final lifted him to third.
| Event | Champion | Race points |
| Australian Open | Carlos Alcaraz | 2,000 |
| Indian Wells | Jannik Sinner | 1,000 |
| Miami Open | Jannik Sinner | 1,000 |
| Monte Carlo Masters | Jannik Sinner | 1,000 |
