Marcelo Arevalo e Mate Pavic estão no ATP Finals pela terceira temporada seguida. Com a classificação da dupla do salvadorenho e do croata, Turim passa a ter quatro parcerias confirmadas: eles se juntam a Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten, Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos e Christian Harrison/Neal Skupski.
Restam quatro vagas para as melhores duplas do ano, e a disputa envolve nove parcerias. Os gaúchos Rafael Matos e Orlando Luz ocupam atualmente a oitava posição da corrida.
Um dos concorrentes fica em desvantagem já nesta semana: os franceses Sadio Doumbia e Fabien Reboul, 11º colocados, não jogam os ATP 500 e perdem a chance de somar pontos. As outras oito parcerias competem em Viena e na Basileia.
Em Viena, além dos brasileiros, entram em quadra os italianos Simone Bolelli e Andrea Vavassori (5º na corrida), o argentino Guido Andreozzi com o francês Manuel Guinard (9º) e o norte-americano Austin Krajicek com o croata Nikola Mektic (12º). Na Basileia jogam os alemães Kevin Krawietz e Tim Puetz (6º), os franceses Theo Arribage e Albano Olivetti (7º), os britânicos Julian Cash e Lloyd Glasspool (10º) e o monegasco Hugo Nys com o francês Edouard Roger-Vasselin (13º).
Quinta melhor dupla do ano, Bolelli e Vavassori são os primeiros ainda não classificados, com 4.660 pontos, e podem se aproximar da vaga com um título nesta semana. Viena e Basileia são o penúltimo passo da corrida; o último e mais importante é Paris, na próxima semana.
