Alex De Minaur knew that his mission in these 2024 ATP Finals was virtually over, even during his match with Taylor Fritz he ran out of mathematical options to advance to the semifinals, but that did not diminish his enthusiasm even a bit to fight for a victory that would have meant a lot to him. In the end, it wasn't meant to be for Alex, although he later explained how his mind works in such abnormal situations like this.
"I approached this match with the mindset of fighting for every point, nothing else. Even if reaching the semifinals was impossible, I still wanted to win the match because I was still playing for money and points. It's not in my nature to walk on a tennis court without giving it my all. Today I had a goal, a game plan, and I wanted to execute it. I wanted to finish the season on a high note, but it wasn't the case, although it has been a pretty good season," evaluated the player from Sydney.
