With Turin berth on the line, Rublev enters Metz next week

Andrey Rublev is set to make his debut at the Moselle Open in Metz next week. The No. 7 in the PIF ATP Rankings has taken a late entry to the indoor ATP 250, which takes place from 3-9 November.

After falling to Francisco Cerundolo in his opener at the Rolex Paris Masters, Rublev is unable to amass further points this week in his bid to qualify for the eight-man Nitto ATP Finals (10-17 November).

The 27-year-old is currently eighth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, with 3,720 points, but could slip out of the cut this week. Alex de Minaur (ninth), Grigor Dimitrov (10th) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (12th) are all still alive in Paris and all could leapfrog Rublev in various scenarios.
