MATCH POINT: A. Rublev def. A. de Minaur; Paris QF0:37

The eight-man field for the Nitto ATP Finals is set after the completion of the Paris Masters quarterfinals.

Though Holger Rune went down in a thrilling final rematch with Novak Djokovic on Friday, he was assisted by the final winner of the evening. With Andrey Rublev rallying past Alex de Minaur, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the quarterfinals at 1 a.m. local time, it ensured Rune and Alexander Zverev could not be surpassed by outside contenders through any potential outcomes at the pair of ATP 250 events next week.

A year after going 9-8 in ATP Masters 1000 competition, Rublev has stepped up to the plate at the coveted events. The 26-year-old is now 21-7 on the 1000 stage this season, highlighted by his triumph in Monte Carlo (over Rune) and a runner-up finish in Shanghai (l. to Hurkacz).
