Final 2 spots up for grabs heading into Paris

The final tournament of the year, the Paris Rolex Masters, is always filled with drama. Being the final tournament of the year, this is the last opportunity for players looking to qualify for the ATP finals to claim a spot. Going into the tournament, there are still 2 qualifying spots remaining. There are only 7 players that have chance at grabbing one of those last coveted spots.



In 7th place right now is David Goffin. He is in a spot to qualify currently and looks as if he will, but to automatically secure his spot he must reach the Paris semifinals.




In 8th place is Pablo Carreno Busta. He is currently sitting in that last position but needs to do well in Paris to keep that spot. He will automatically qualify by winning the tournament.

In 9th place is American Sam Querrey. He is looking to qualify for the first time ever, but he must win the whole tournament to even have a chance at qualifying. If he reaches the final, his fate lies in the hands of the players in front of him in the standings and where they finish up in the tournament.

In 10th is U.S. Open finalist Kevin Anderson. Anderson's fate is the same as Querrey's as he also must win to automatically qualify. If he does it will be the South African's first time qualifying for the finals.

In 11th is Juan Martin Del Potro. Del Potro could have moved up to the 8th position if he won the tournament in Basel last week, but a loss in the final keeps him in 11th. He will automatically qualify if he wins the title.

In 12th is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. A former champion in Paris, Tsonga will look to the home support to push him through the final week. If he wins he will automatically qualify for London which will be his 5th time ever to qualify for the finals.


In 13th and the last man that has a chance of qualification is Frenchman Lucas Pouille. He has the toughest odds out of all of the players. He must win the title and hope that the players in front of him in the standings lose before the semifinals.
