Will injured Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini make the ATP Finals in Turin with one month of season left?

It's around this time of the year that the ATP Finals conversation hots up — but Italian hopes right now are lukewarm. There's one month of the season remaining and Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini have work to do to qualify for Turin. Ad Sinner is currently 12th in the standings, 390 points behind eighth-placed Alexander Zverev.

Berrettini is further back, 475 points behind Zverev. However, the rankings are probably going to be shaken up a bit as Zverev is set to miss the rest of the season due to injury and Rafael Nadal, who is in second place, may not play again in 2022. Novak Djokovic is also set to qualify for the ATP Finals due to winning Wimbledon, even though he is currently ranked outside the top eight in the race.
