Both Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur are set to earn $156,000 (£118,000) from the ATP finals, despite not qualifying for the end-of-season tournament. Both players narrowly missed out on qualification. De Minaur finished the season in 9th place in the ATP rankings, with Taylor Fritz in 10th. Both have been a regular feature in the tournament in recent years, but now could be forced to watch from the sidelines as the top eight players battle it out.
Because they are in the two places below qualification, De Minaur and Fritz will have a role in the tournament. Both are alternates, meaning they will practice with the qualified players and be called upon to step in if there are any withdrawals.
For taking up that role, they will be paid $156,000 (£118,000). In context, for playing in the round of 32 stage in the Paris Masters earlier this month, De Minaur received £21,111 in prize money.
The Australian lost to Argentine Tomas Marin Etcheverry 7-6, 6-3 in the French capital. Fritz has been in action more recently and is currently taking part in the Stockholm Open.
He came out as 6-4, 6-2 winner over Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-final earlier today and will take on Thiago Agustin Tirante in the final on Saturday. If he wins that final, he will receive £95,512 in prize money.
The ATP finals start on Sunday in Turin, Italy, with Alexander Zverev taking on Rafael Jodar.
The second match of the day sees Ben Shelton face Arthur Fils. The other opening group matches see Carlos Alcaraz vs Frances Tiafoe and Daniil Medvedev vs Francisco Cobolli.
