Will the Australian serve as a point supplier for Fritz?
Alex de Minaur will bid farewell to the ATP Finals 2024 in Turin after the group final against Taylor Fritz. A place in the playoffs is currently unrealistic after “Demon” already lost the two group matches before. Taylor Fritz, on the other hand, is under pressure to win. If he does, Fritz will secure a place in the playoffs on his own merit. Our Alex de Minaur vs. Fritz betting tip is on the American.
The tournament started for Taylor Fritz with a victory against Daniil Medvedev. It was only in the second group match against Jannik Sinner that the fifth-ranked player from the United States lost out. He lost the match against the current best player in the ATP in two sets, 4-6 and 4-6.
Alex de Minaur – Statistics & current form
With Alex de Minaur, an Australian professional tennis player was represented at the ATP Finals for the first time in almost 20 years. The adventure in the ATP final tournament is expected to end in the group phase for the number nine in the world. So far, “Demon” has not won a single set in the current tournament.
The 25-year-old has two group matches under his belt with a record of 0-2 and a set ratio of 0-4. It is quite possible that the record will deteriorate further with another clear defeat against Taylor Fritz. The only encouraging factor before the group finale is the head-to-head against the upcoming opponent from the USA.
Alex de Minaur has won the last two encounters against Taylor Fritz. Both matches on hard courts, mind you. Those who believe that the Australian underdog can pull off another surprise can get betting odds of 2.88 for an Alex de Minaur vs. Fritz tip on “Demon”.
Has the Australian already digested the defeat against Medvedev?
Compared to the performance Alex de Minaur showed against Jannik Sinner in the group opener, the performance in the second group game against Daniil Medvedev was by no means satisfactory. Especially in his service games, the Australian tennis pro fell short of expectations.
In the group match against Medvedev, only 24 of 42 points were won after his first serve – a rate of 57%. In return games, “Demon” also disappointed and remained comparatively harmless. Alex de Minaur lost 27 of 32 points after Daniil Medvedev’s first serve.
Based on these statistics, placing a prediction on the ATP world number nine at Alex de Minaur vs. Fritz involves a lot of risk. The head-to-head in recent meetings against Taylor Fritz should not be overrated.
Taylor Fritz – Statistics & current form
Taylor Fritz picked up an important victory against Daniil Medvedev in the opening group match of the ATP Finals 2024, thus setting the course for a place in the playoffs. Although the subsequent group match against Jannik Sinner was lost, Taylor Fritz still has a good chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
However, the USA’s number one is under pressure to win. There is no room for error in the group final against Alex de Minaur. Fritz has a record of 1-3 in his last four matches, with two of those defeats coming against top players like Sinner and Djokovic.
This will be Taylor Fritz’s second appearance at the ATP Finals. The American was already represented in the ATP finals tournament in 2022. At that time, Fritz even made it to the semi-finals, where he was only defeated by the eventual tournament winner, Novak Djokovic. It is quite possible that he will make it into the playoffs again this time.
Taylor Fritz has a strong serve
In his last six matches, the American has only been broken by his opponents six times. Mind you, two of those six breaks came in the most recent encounter against Jannik Sinner. Nevertheless, Fritz impressed in his service games and defied the Italian for long stretches.
If the world number five takes the momentum into the group final against Alex de Minaur, it stands to reason that the next win and thus the ticket to the playoffs will be secured on the last day of the group stage.

Alex de Minaur – Taylor Fritz betting tip
Taylor Fritz has played a solid tournament so far and has won one of two group matches. With another victory, the world number five can secure a place in the playoffs. It would be her second appearance in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals. Fritz was already among the top four players in 2022.
The American should not have too much trouble against Alex de Minaur. “Demon”, as the Australian tennis pro is also known, lost both of his group matches earlier and therefore no longer has a realistic chance of making it to the playoffs. It is quite possible that Alex de Minaur will lose on the third day of play as well.
We dare to tip a 2-0 victory for the US player with a stake of five units on Alex de Minaur against Taylor Fritz. In the current group situation, the 27-year-old cannot afford any mistakes and should therefore prevail against “Demon” in two sets.
