"It feels great," Rublev said. "It's great news. After the match I didn't know that if I would win the match I would qualify for sure, so I didn't know that and it's a great feeling, great news. Looking forward [to it] and happy to be part of the Nitto ATP Finals for one more year."The nine-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist has notched 50 wins in three consecutive season and he also claimed his maiden Masters title this season at Monte-Carlo.Rublev was a semifinalist at Turin last year, and is 4-6 overall at the event.Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune are next in line to qualify for Turin, but there is much work to be done with the remainder of this week in addition to the final Masters 1000 event of 2023 in Paris still left to play.
