Vacherot makes move in Monte-Carlo

Jannik Sinner is leading the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin for the first time this season following his title run at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

The Italian is a two-time defending champion at the Nitto ATP Finals and is already in a great position to return to the prestigious year-end event in November following a red-hot month on the ATP Tour.

Sinner became the first man to win Indian Wells and Miami without dropping a set and then became just the second man, alongside Novak Djokovic in 2015, to win Miami and Monte-Carlo back to back. Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the championship match in the Principality and now leads the Spaniard by 300 points in the Live Race To Turin.

Alcaraz is second, with a 1,510 point gap over third-placed Alexander Zverev, who reached his fourth semi-final of the season in Monte-Carlo. Alcaraz will aim to triumph at the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time later this year, after losing to Sinner in the championship match in 2025.

Alex de Minaur is sixth, behind Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic, following a quarter-final run in Monte-Carlo. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Ben Shelton round out the top eight. Shelton plays in Munich this week, while De Minaur takes to court in Barcelona. Both Munich and Barcelona are ATP 500 events.

Valentin Vacherot is 17th in the Live Race To Turin after he soared to the semi-finals on home soil in Monte-Carlo. The Monegasque star beat Lorenzo Musetti and De Minaur at the clay-court event. Last year, the 27-year-old Vacherot captured the title at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Shanghai.

The Nitto ATP Finals will be held from 15-22 November at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
