Rafael Nadal’s hopes of qualifying for the ATP Finals ended in a straight-set loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime in Turin.

Nadal started the week with a chance to end the year at No. 1 in the world rankings, but suffered an early loss to Taylor Fritz and was beaten 6–3 6–4 by Canada’s Auger-Aliassime on Tuesday (November 15).

The Spaniard still has little chance of reaching the semi-finals if he beats Casper Ruud in straight sets in their last group game and all other results are in favor, but Nadal has been well short of his best until ‘now.

There was the shocking sight of Toni Nadal, the hand that guided his nephew’s career for so long, sitting in Auger-Aliassime’s box, with the young Canadian currently under his tutelage.

It was Nadal who threatened a break in the early stages, but the 22-time Grand Slam champion faltered in game eight, making more mistakes that marred his performance against Fritz.

Auger-Aliassime, who lost to Ruud in her opener on Sunday (November 13), qualified again at the start of the second set and put on a solid display of serve to bolster her hopes of reaching the semi-finals.

After winning the Australian Open and French Open in the same year for the first time, Nadal’s 2022 season is ending on a whimper, and he should be looking to avoid a fifth straight loss when he faces Ruud on Thursday. (november).
