He established his world number one of the year by adding 400 points, 200 for each group victory, which closes on Thursday against Daniel Medvedev who took another 200 off De Minaur.
In the other group are 300 points for Alexander Zverev and the same number for Casper Ruud. Carlos Alcaraz and Andrey Rublev are at zero so far.
Alcaraz is the most disadvantaged among competitors in terms of ranking. Stay away from number 2 Alexander Zverev who had a goal in Turin before feeling weak with a cold, is losing sight of Jannik Sinner, who in January will defend his 2,000 point championship, having already cut 1,000 in Turin as a finalist.
