Day 3 of the Next Gen ATP Finals 2019 will decide the two semi-finalists from Group A as Alex de Minaur and Casper Ruud square off against one another. De Minaur has won both of his round-robin games, against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Miomir Kecmanović, and is in pole position to make it to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, Ruud suffered a 3-4 (5-7), 3-4 (5-7), 2-4 defeat in his first match against Kecmanović. He made a strong comeback in his second match against Davidovich Fokina, triumphing 3–4 (2–7), 4–3 (7–2), 4–2, 3–4 (2–7), 4–1.

Ruud is currently third in his group with one win and one loss to his name, possessing a 3–5 set win-loss record. After a long and tiring match against the Spaniard, Ruud will have to be at his best if he is to harbor any hopes of defeating de Minaur.

If he wins his match against Ruud, he will seal a spot in the semi-finals, although even a loss could earn him a berth in the next round depending on other results.
