Bulgarian tennis star Grigor Dimitrov got an even bigger chance to reach the Final Masters of the best 8 players in the 2024 season.
The competition will be held in Turin from November 10 to 17, reports Focus.
The reason is that two of the competitors of our first racket and 10th in the world at the moment dropped out at the start of the “Masters 1000” tournament in Shanghai, China and will not add any new points from the competition in which the winner takes 1000.
These are the 6th ranked Andrei Rublev from Russia, who lost to the young Czech Jakub Menšík in three sets, and the 9th Kasper Ruud from Norway. The Scandinavian fell last night to 91st-ranked Aleksandar Vukic of Australia.
For the time being, the top three in the rankings have secure places for Turin – Yannick Siner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev.
The remaining 5 seats are unoccupied.
Grigor is currently 10th with 2845 points, which he earned in 2024. The last one who currently enters the “Top 8” for Turin is the legend Novak Djokovic, who has 3310 points.
Right in front of the Serbian are the dropouts at the start in Shanghai – Ruud is 6th with 3795 points, and Rublev is 7th with 3580 points.
Taylor Fritz (3900 points) and Daniil Medvedev (4670 points) are currently ahead.
Grigor Dimitrov started today his participation in the “Masters 1000” in Shanghai against the Belgian Zizu Bergs, but the match was interrupted and will be played again tomorrow.
