–

The final 16 are in action in singles, and while on paper they’d all be seeds, in reality there are seven left.

No. 1 Jannik Sinner was a late scratch. Turin-bound Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz are out (although since Fritz was beaten by the red-hot Jack Draper, that defeat is likely going to turn out to be less of an upset with every passing week).

Alex de Minaur, far from 100 per cent with a hip that’s bothered him since Wimbledon, is trying to scratch his way to the ATP Finals although – and we understand the money involved – it’s hard to think that another, healthier player wouldn’t be better for the event as a whole.

He got Draper on Thursday. In winning, he slides past Andrey Rublev into the No. 8 spot, with no one knowing if Novak Djokovic (currently No. 6, is even going to make the date).
