Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Yes... wow.
I read it the same way as you, thinking it was referring to Turin - because the 'tweet' certainly framed it that way by stating that "the field is set", and showing only 8 players.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did it deliberately to see how many people they could mislead.

If Novak wins tomorrow, and he will, he ends the week ranked 8th or higher. There will be little controversy.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Alcaraz announced he is withdrawing. That injury, as I suspected, was more than just a little twitch. He pulled up from that match in a very quick fashion, as if something had really hurt.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
How unfortunate... Fritz is in then, Hurkacz or Rune as the first alternate.
Also Nadal with an outside chance of ending the season as #1. He needs to make up 1,000 points.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
There's a really nice pic on the Turin Finals web site but I can't get it as a .jpg
AND I figured it out.
It shows the updated field.

I like this so much better than every guy screaming and fist-pumping after winning a big point. At least this has some personality.

But at least two of those pictures can be captioned: "How did I get here?"

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
It's pretty simple, isn't it? Wimbledon still counts as a Major - and winners of Majors (if they're in the top 20?) automatically qualify for the ATP Finals.
Whether that is the RIGHT way to do it or not can be questioned and discussed - but it seems pretty straightforward to me.
What bothers me is that the WTA doesn't do it the same way - thus Rybakina isn't playing in Texas this week. But I guess Rybakina isn't in the top 20 (but likely would be if her Wimbledon points counted). I'd prefer to see some consistency between the ATP and WTA on significant matters like this.
Any way you look at it, and whatever your opinion is on how it should be done... one thing is certain: Wimbledon screwed everything up by banning Russians and Belarusians.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Hard to see why Djokovic will not win this..court is quick, he is fresh, Nadal is not ready...etc...
