Paris has at all times been often known as an vital vacationer vacation spot with a huge impact in terms of the ATP Finals, and this 12 months isn’t any completely different.
Simply ask Alex de Minaur.
The Aussie, within the midst of his greatest season as knowledgeable, gained the race for the celebrated ATP year-end occasion this week by reaching the quarterfinals in Paris. De Minaur now sits eighth within the rankings, 25 factors forward of Andrey Rublev, and will transfer into sixth, forward of Casper Ruud and Novak Djokovic, if he beats Holger Rune in Paris at present.
On Thursday in Paris De Minaur bought a gritty 5-7 6-2 6-3 over Jack Draper to match his greatest single-season win complete of 47 (additionally in 2022). He’ll declare his 250th win on Friday, which might make him solely the second participant born in 1999 or later to file essentially the most wins, together with Jannik Sinner (255).

The 25-year-old suffered a critical hip harm, which he sustained at Wimbledon, within the second half of the season, but it surely didn’t decelerate his progress materially.
De Minaur is seeking to develop into the primary Australian to achieve the ATP Finals since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004.
In January, the World No.10 turned the primary Aussie male to carry a Prime-10 rating since Hewitt in 2006. He dropped to No. 6 within the rankings after Wimbledon, however may transfer up the rankings within the not-too-distant future.
