Alex de Minaur was beaten by Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinal of the Shanghai Masters last week and now, he might be set for a spell on the sidelines. <\/p>\n

De Minaur<\/a> was looking to go one better than he did at the China Open when Jannik Sinner<\/a> beat him in the semifinal, but came up against a resurgent Medvedev<\/a>. <\/p>\n

De Minaur released a statement<\/a> yesterday about his participation at a UTS event in Hong Kong, and now it\u2019s emerged exactly why he\u2019s needed to pull out. <\/p>\n

De Minaur received some good news<\/a> last week regarding the ATP Finals<\/a>, but now, his place might end up being up for grabs after the latest development. <\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid year on the tour, even if winning tournaments of note has seemingly escaped him once again. <\/p>\n

De Minaur is going to sit out with a hip problem at the UTS event in Hong Kong this week and now it remains to be seen what the rest of the year looks like for the Australian. <\/p>\n

De Minaur\u2019s coach, Matt Reid, told The First Serve that his hip problem is linked to the one which saw him withdraw from Wimbledon at the quarterfinal stage in 2024. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s claimed that more will be announced in the next few days and it\u2019s not clear whether De Minaur will play in Vienna or Paris before the ATP Finals. <\/p>\n

What Alex de Minaur thinks about his year so far<\/p>\n

It has to be seen as a positive that De Minaur has remained a top 10 player this year and will once again take his place at the ATP Finals should he be fit enough. <\/p>\n

Last year, the finals saw him lose all three matches, which he played in the group stages, and he will be hoping to give a better account of himself if he plays the event this year. <\/p>\n

De Minaur has been asked by Tennis Majors<\/a>, on the back of his injury update, how he would view his year if his hip problem curtailed it prematurely. <\/p>\n

He said: Yeah, I think it would have been a good season. Of course, I broke some of my own records. I managed to get 50 wins in a year, which is a great achievement. I\u2019ve put myself in good positions again to compete for the end of the bigger tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m currently in the top 10, so it would have been a lot of good results in this season, of course. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would hope that it doesn\u2019t end right here, right now, and I can still kind of continue and push for a little bit longer, but I think I\u2019m definitely improving, developing, and every year seems to be getting better and better, which is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, for De Minaur and his fans, an anxious wait looks to be in store ahead of future tournaments this year. <\/p>\n
