It now remains to be seen if he can add to his match tally given his injury issue, of which he has now provided an update.
He told Tennis Majors: “It’s a hip injury, the one I sustained last year after Wimbledon which sidelined me for a long time so it is an area of concern.
“So this is something that I can’t take any chances with. Last year it sidelined me for almost three or four months, and I played the rest of the year with pain.

“Now, it’s warning signs, I need to make sure everything is good. I don’t want to have the same problem as last year. I need to be smart and look after the body.
“I need to go get a scan. I need to see what the issue is, why I’m still getting pain and then once we kind of sit down with the team, the doctor, the medical team, we can assess what the game plan will be for the rest of the year, right?
“So there’s a lot of question marks, a lot of uncertainty, so I’ve got to kind of wait and see, play the waiting game.”
Alex de Minaur’s current standing with the ATP Finals amid worrying injury issue
De Minaur was really enjoying himself at Wimbledon last summer before his unfortunate withdrawal in London.
He was set for a highly anticipated clash against Novak Djokovic, but the pain in his hip was simply too much to keep going.
Hopefully for his sake he can shake off the issue sooner rather than later, with plenty still to play for between now and the end of the season.
It is unclear if De Minaur will play Vienna or Paris, which could be key to his potential qualification for the ATP Finals.
