Cameron Norrie has admitted he still has targets he's set himself for the final quarter of the tennis year.
The British No.1 has a packed schedule ahead of him, with five events entered in the next six weeks - and the 27-year-old is hoping to pick up as many much-valued ranking points as possible as he bids to qualify for the year-ending ATP Finals.
The Wimbledon semi-finalist has 45 wins to his name already this season but currently sits 11th in the Race to Turin with only the top eight qualifying.
Norrie made his debut at the prestigious final Turin event last year when he replaced the injured Stefanos Tsitsipas but revealed earning a spot through his tennis is still very much the goal.
He said: "For me, I’m going to make a big push for Turin. I think I’m knocking on the door there. I’m 11 or 12 in the race at the moment, so I’m going to try and make a big push there."
The world no.8 begins this week at Seoul in the Korean Open where he will face Japan's Kaichi Uchida in an ATP250 event he starts as the second seed in the draw after Casper Ruud.
He will then head to Japan before heading back to Europe after a week off.
Norrie added: “I’m going to Seoul, Tokyo, (have) a week off, Stockholm, Vienna, Paris, so a pretty full schedule.
“A lot of points on the line, and a lot of tennis to be played, but yeah, like I said, I want to just go all in to try and make Turin.”
Norrie will be hoping to add to titles in Lyon and Delray Beach picked up this year as he aims to win his first in Asia and fifth ATP triumph overall.
