Qualification scenarios for the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals

Players who are likely to fight for the last 2 spots:

Pablo Carreno Busta: 2595 points

The Spaniard had a breakthrough season with some exceptional performances throughout the year. He made the semis of the US Open where he lost to eventual runner-up Kevin Anderson.

Currently, in 7th position with 2595 points, Carreno Busta will need another 1000 points or so to qualify. He will face a tough task to do so with the immense competition for the final two spots and given the fact that he lost in the first round of the China Open recently.

Sam Querrey: 2435 points

The Big American too had a breakthrough season and has been powering his way to the latter stages of tournaments all throughout the year. He reached the semifinals of Wimbledon and followed that up with a quarter-final appearance in the US Open.

With 2435 points to his name, he will look to take advantage of the indoor hard court season and be the first American to qualify for the tour finals since Roddick in 2009.

Kevin Anderson: 2380 points

The tall, lanky South African made headlines after finishing as the runner-up in this year’s US Open. He performed well throughout the year and will look to continue his fine run of form in the final quarter of the season as well.

With 2380 points, he has a tough task ahead of him, but just like Querrey, he too will enjoy playing on the indoor hard-courts with his big serves and big hitting. Ideally, he should gain another 1000-1200 points to qualify.
