Alex de Minaur drops outside top eight in ATP Finals race
Alex de Minaur fell to 10th in the ATP Race to Turin after Rafael Jodar's advance, costing him a spot in the finals.
De Minaur aimed to qualify for the ATP Finals for the third year running. His ranking in the Race to Turin, which determines the top eight players for the end-of-season championship in Italy, has dropped to 10th.
Rafael Jodar's run to the Shanghai Masters final pushed the Australian out. De Minaur faces a fallow week while rivals compete at events in Lyon, Almaty and Brussels, picking up critical points.
Earlier, de Minaur committed to the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia for that same week, an event now postponed until December due to unrest in the Middle East. Vienna and Paris Masters matches still lie ahead.
