Auger-Aliassime boosts Turin qualification hopes with US Open run
Felix Auger-Aliassime has reignited his push to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals for the second time in his career after a dazzling run to the US Open semi-finals.
With just two months remaining before the prestigious season finale, the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin is heating up. Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur also made gains during their campaigns at the year’s final major in New York.
ATPTour.com looks at the biggest movers in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin as of Monday, 8 September.
Felix Auger-Aliassime – 10th (2,705 points), +8
After a strong early-season that included titles in Adelaide and Montpellier, Auger-Aliassime looked well-positioned for a Nitto ATP Finals spot. A patchy mid-season dimmed these hopes, but his US Open resurgence has firmly put him back in the mix.
The 25-year-old Canadian earned consecutive wins over third seed Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev and De Minaur to reach the semi-finals, leaving him just two places shy of qualification in the Live Race.

Novak Djokovic – third (4,180), +2
Novak Djokovic continued his ultra-clean Grand Slam season, advancing to a fourth straight major semi-final in New York before bowing out to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz. The 38-year-old Serbian joined Jannik Sinner as the only men to reach the semi-finals at all four majors this year.
The record seven-time Nitto ATP Finals champion, who also won his 100th tour-level trophy this year in Geneva, climbed two spots to third in the Live Race.
Alex de Minaur – seventh (3,145), +1
Last year, De Minaur made his debut at the Nitto ATP Finals, becoming the first Australian to qualify since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. Following his run to the US Open quarter-finals this year, the 26-year-old looks in good standing to return to Turin. De Minaur, who won his first title of the season in Washington in July, boasts a Tour-leading 28 wins on hard courts in 2025, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
Lorenzo Musetti – eighth (3,070), +1
After a slow start to the North American swing, Lorenzo Musetti turned things around in New York by reaching his first major quarter-final on hard courts. With the breakthrough, the 23-year-old is back inside the qualification spots for Turin, where he is aiming to make his debut. Musetti holds a 30-13 record this season, highlighted by semi-final appearances at all three-clay court ATP Masters 1000 events and Roland Garros.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have already qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals, taking place from 9-16 November at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
