Carlos Alcaraz had already clinched first place and at least $1 million in bonus money after winning the Tokyo title in September. The Spaniard earned a total of 1,930 ATP Rankings points at the ATP 500 level, also lifting trophies at Rotterdam and Queen’s Club.

But the race for the rest of the top six places went down to the wire, with De Minaur, Alexander Zverev, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Jannik Sinner all making deep runs last week to strengthen their positions in the standings. Andrey Rublev rounded out the top six, fuelled by his title in Doha and runner-up finish in Hamburg.

De Minaur's run to the Vienna semi-finals helped him hold off Zverev, who reached the final at the same event. Both players fell to Sinner, who surged into the top six with his title run. Sinner also won the Beijing title in October, with his two trophy runs accounting for 1,000 of his 1,050 points. The other 50 points came from his opening-round win in Halle in June.

Basel finalist Davidovich Fokina stayed ahead of Sinner and vaulted past Rublev with his run, which came to an end against Joao Fonseca. The Brazilian claimed his biggest career title on Monday, his first at the ATP 500 level.

The ATP 500 Bonus Pool more than doubled for 2025. Last year, $1.34 million was distributed to five players with the most points earned in the ATP 500 category.
