LONDON – Alexander Zverev's breakout 2017 season has seen him become the first player to qualify for the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals, to be staged 7-11 November at the Fiera Milano, Italy.

The 20-year-old Zverev will compete in his sixth final of the season Sunday when he battles Roger Federer for the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown in Canada. Only Rafael Nadal, seven, and Federer, six, have reached as many or more finals this season.

“I’m excited to have qualified for the first Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan,” said Zverev. “It’s been a great season so far and I hope it can get even better in the coming weeks.”
