Alex de Minaur is making strides towards qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin after securing a victory over Jan-Lennard Struff at the Vienna Open. Despite ongoing injury concerns following a hip issue that disrupted his season, de Minaur showed resilience by coming from behind to win in three sets. He is currently one spot outside the top eight needed for qualification, needing strong performances in Vienna and the upcoming Paris Masters. De Minaur expressed a cautious approach, stating he has 'no big expectations' and is focusing on his recovery and performance rather than the points situation. His next challenge is against Flavio Cobolli, who has had a breakout year on the tour. The outcome of de Minaur's matches in Vienna will significantly influence his chances for both the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup selection.
