Alex de Minaur has qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals for the second consecutive season. 

Before De Minaur qualified last year, the most recent Australian who played in the tournament was Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. Now he is returning to compete at Inalpi Arena for the second time.

The seventh Turin qualifier won the third ATP 500 of his career this year in Washington, where he saved three championship points in a dramatic final against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

De Minaur also made the final in Rotterdam and semi-finals in Monte-Carlo, Beijing and Vienna. He earned the 300th tour-level victory of his career in Vienna.
