Australia's Alex de Minaur has been confirmed as the top seed for the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals.

De Minaur enters the tournament as the favourite having won three ATP Tour titles and breaking into the Top 20 this season.

The 20-year-old will be hoping to go one better than last year's tournament in Milan, where he lost the final to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

American Frances Tiafoe is the No.2 seed at the 21-and-under event in Italy, while Ugo Humbert, Casper Ruud, Miomir Kecmanovic, Mikael Ymer, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Italian wild card Jannik Sinner will also compete.

The tournament begins on Tuesday.
