Who's out
Joao Fonseca is out injured for the rest of the season. The 2024 champion remains in the points table, but will not be part of the playing field. His absence opens the door for the next available eligible player in the race.
The bubble
With Joao Fonseca out injured, the top eight available players currently run through ninth place in the race. Moise Kouame, 17, holds the final spot with 319 points, just 6 ahead of Nicolai Budkov Kjaer (313). Diego Dedura (298) and Jan Kumstat (291) are within striking distance. Darwin Blanch climbed to sixth with 370 points, and Felix Balshaw (322) earned his first ATP Tour win in Lyon this month. One deep Challenger run can still reshape the last four places.
How qualifying works
The field is drawn from the top eligible players in the calendar-year ATP race. For 2026, players must have been born in 2006 or later — aged 20 or under at the end of the year. Race points measure this season's results, not the rolling 52-week ATP ranking.
Eight players compete. Withdrawals are filled by the next eligible player in the race; a top-eight position is not the same as a confirmed place. We report confirmed participation separately from points and do not treat speculation as a field announcement.
