Officially qualified for the Masters, De Minaur withdraws from Belgrade!

Not exactly a surprise. In a frantic race to secure one of the eight precious sesames for the year-end Masters, Alex De Minaur has officially learned that he will be taking part in the event for the first time in his career.

Indeed, Novak Djokovic has made official a piece of information that had already been widely circulated: although he is the defending champion, he will not be taking part in this year's ATP Finals.

With no points left to secure a place in Turin, the Australian didn't hesitate.

Wishing to save himself for the Masters tournament, which begins this Sunday, he logically withdrew from the ATP 250 Belgrade, which at the same time lost its number one seed.
