One of the main focuses of attention at the end of this season is on the battle to qualify for the ATP Finals 2024. It might seem that Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev have their spots secured as 7th and 8th, but the results in the quarterfinals of the ATP Basel 2024 have opened the door for Alex de Miñaur to snatch one of these positions from them. The Russian, who was the top seed in the Swiss city, fell in a tight match against Ben Shelton (7-5, 6-7(3), 6-4), breaking a statistic that had haunted him throughout 2024, achieving his first victory over a top-20 player all year (excluding the Laver Cup where he defeated Medvedev). On the other hand, Arthur Fils continued his winning streak in ATP 500 by convincingly defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-6(5), 6-3), forcing the Greek to win the title at Paris-Bercy if he wants to make it to Turin, something he has been doing since 2018, but seems almost impossible this season.
