The Russian player held the eighth and final qualifying place in the race for the season-ending ATP Finals but could be overtaken by rivals this week.

The ATP said Taylor Fritz became the fifth player to qualify, making it to the season-ending tournament for the second time in the past three years. The indoor event gathering the top eight players of the season will take place in Turin, Italy, from Nov. 10-17.

Fritz joined Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev in the field.

Sinner pulled out of the Paris Masters on Monday, citing a virus. The Italian player is guaranteed to finish the year as world No.1.

Sinner was the second high-profile player to pull out following seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

Carlos Alcaraz overcame some rusty moments on his serve to beat Nicolas Jarry 7-5, 6-1.

The second-seeded Spaniard was troubled by Jarry’s strong forehand at times. The Chilean broke his serve in the ninth game and held for 5-5. But Jarry double-faulted in his next service game to lose the first set.
