Sinner extends lead in PIF ATP Live Race To Turin

Arthur Fils returned to the Tour in February following an eight-month layoff due to a back injury and has quickly reasserted himself at the top of the game.

The 21-year-old has surged to fourth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin after reaching the last four at the Mutua Madrid Open, his second ATP Masters 1000 semi-final run this season (Miami). Fils leapfrogged Daniil Medvedev and Ben Shelton in the Race To Turin.

The Frenchman arrived in Madrid following a title run at the ATP 500 event in Barcelona, where he lifted his first trophy of 2026 and fourth overall. In the Spanish capital, Fils extended his winning streak to nine matches before falling to eventual champion Jannik Sinner.

Fils improved his season record to 22-6, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, to continue his quest of making his Nitto ATP Finals debut.

Madrid champion Sinner strengthened his grip atop the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin after claiming a record fifth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 crown, a streak that dates back to last year’s Rolex Paris Masters. The Italian, who won the prestigious year-end event in 2024 and 2025, holds 4,900 points while rival Carlos Alcaraz is second with 3,650 points.

Sinner was dominant in the Madrid final, dispatching Alexander Zverev 6-1, 6-2 to secure the title. Despite the defeat, Zverev solidified his third-place standing following his first final appearance of 2026. The German leaves Madrid with a 26-8 season record.

Zverev has qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals in eight of the past nine years and is in good position to earn his place in Turin again. The only year in that span he did not qualify was in 2022, when he suffered a severe ankle injury at Roland Garros that forced him to shut down his season. The 29-year-old is within 710 points of Alcaraz and has a 1,060 point buffer over fourth-placed Fils.

Italian Flavio Cobolli has climbed to ninth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, boosting his hopes of making his debut at the season finale. Last year, home fans in Turin had two Italians to rally behind in Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti. Ahead of Cobolli in the Race To Turin is record seven-time champion Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur. Cobolli has 1,270 points, just 35 points behind eighth-placed De Minaur.

Seven of the top eight have qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals before, with the lone exception being Fils. Four of the top eight have lifted the trophy at the year-end event: Sinner, Zverev, Medvedev and Djokovic.
