The upcoming six weeks of men’s tennis will be a scramble for a large group of stars who are looking for wins and points to qualify for the 2015 ATP World Tour Finals. With only the top four players (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka) guaranteed admission, there are still four slots remaining for a dozen hopeful players.

The ATP World Tour’s Race for London shows a tight points range within this clustered pack of players ranging from No. 5 Tomas Berdych’s 3,850 points to the 1,625 points garnered by the 16th player on this list, David Goffin. (sidenote: This unusual cluster is largely due to the incredible 12,785 points Djokovic has gained in 2015. Points have been scarcer for second-tier stars, so the margin between players is slight.)

Which players are the favorites to get in? Who must scramble and hope for chaos while he cashes in on a big title to leap ahead of the fray? After all, the London's WTF is the year-end showcase event with big prize money and recognition. It’s a chance to end the year as the one who closes the doors on 2015.



 

Remaining Favorites

Tomas Berdych, Kei Nishikori and Rafael Nadal occupy the fifth through seventh slots, 710-845 points ahead of eighth-place David Ferrer. It’s likely that all three of them will get in, but a couple of poor performances at Shanghai or Paris could drop them a few places and conceivably out of the running for London.

Berdych is playing as the No. 1 seed, chasing 250 points in Shenzhen, and he will be at Beijing’s level-500 tournament next week. His active consistency makes it all but certain that he will be one of the elite eight.

Nishikori is Tokyo’s defending champion, but after a poor close to his U.S. Open series including injuries and a first-round exit, he should be ready to seal things up at Masters 1000 venues Shanghai and Paris....
