ATP Finals 2022...

[James P]

...this might be the rare year where the #8 player is picked via the major titleists exception.

The criteria to qualify for the ATP Finals are as follows:

1. Players who finish the season ranked in the top seven automatically qualify
2. The eighth spot is reserved for a player who won a Grand Slam event in the current year and is ranked from 8th-20th
3. If more than one player won a Grand Slam event in the current year and is ranked from 8th-20th, then whichever of these players is highest-ranked is awarded the eighth spot; whichever of these players is second highest-ranked is made first alternate
4. If there is no player who won a Grand Slam event in the current year and is ranked from 8th-20th, then the eight spot is awarded to the player ranked eighth, irrespective of Grand Slam results

With Djokovic and Kyrgios both potential Wimbledon titleists and possibly outside of the top 8 in the race, it's a possibility.

Goran did it in 2001...he was ranked outside the top 10

 

[Bartelby]

Being ranked #20 or less might be a challenge for Krygios given his rather spotty schedule.

Djoker will get the points needed. Just you wait

He might, but sounds like he's for sure missing Cincy and the USO. That's more chances for others to score points where he can't.

Oh I forgot about that. I hope he plays those. At least the uso

also Gaudio in 2004 he was ranked 10 and pushed Andre Agassi and Nalbandian, who were ranked 8 and 9 out of the tournament

Would ATP consider that clause for Wimbledon this year after all that went on between ATP and Wimbledon.

That's a good question.

LOL, well he'll always have Paris ("Masters")

The ATP is as good as dead. Time for (the Djoker to start?) a new alternative tour à la LIV Golf. The age of decoupling has begun - why should tennis not join the party?

PS I see the ATP website is covering Wimby as if nothing had happened, even though it is famously not sanctioning the event. Weak weak weak. A few dudes with some balls and some brains need to get together and put a nail in the coffin of this rotten organization.

I kept seeing conflicting reports. Does Wimbledon count or not?

I thought it was still being accorded Slam status (and then it would count), but now I'm not so sure.
