After a few months of the 2022 season, it was obvious that Rafael Nadal will not be missing at the 2022 ATP Finals and now he officially secured his spot.

The 36-years-old Spaniard became the first player to do so in the 2022 season as he leads the ATP Race to Torino. Rafael Nadal collected to Grand Slam titles this year when he triumphed at the Australian Open and also Rolland Garros.

He also added titles at the Summer Set in Melbourne and in Acapulco and overall, he accumulated 5630 points this season. That is more than 5475 points currently needed to qualify for the 2022 ATP Finals and therefore he became the first player to do so despite losing in his first match at the 2022 Cincinnati Masters to Borna Coric.

His closest rivals in the ATP Race and for the year-end no. 1 spot in the ATP Rankings are Carlos Alcaraz, who is currently second and the third player in the ATP Race, Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is also a candidate to soon qualify for the year-end event that will be held in Torino from November 13th until 20th.
