The 2024 Belgrade Open is back, and it’s one of the last chances for players to shine this season. Taking place from November 3rd to 9th, this tournament, alongside the Moselle Open in France, will be pivotal in determining who secures a spot at the ATP Finals. The stakes are high as these matches could decide the final qualifiers for the year-end showdown.
Previously held just once in May 2021 on outdoor clay courts, where Novak Djokovic emerged victorious against Alex Molcan, this year’s Belgrade Open shifts indoors to hard courts. This change brings a fresh challenge and excitement as top players gear up for its debut as an indoor event.
Alex de Minaur leads the entry list but may not compete due to his ongoing hip injury since Wimbledon. Despite withdrawing from several events like the Olympics and early North American tournaments, he surprised many by reaching the US Open quarterfinals. Yet he hasn’t played since then .
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇷🇸 Novak Djokovic | 37 | 8,360 | 18 - 6 |
Fans might wonder if de Minaur can recover in time or if his absence will open doors for others.
Tommy Paul is another key player eyeing a spot at the ATP Finals but sits at an outside chance ranked 11th. His performance at Shanghai Masters saw him exit in round of 16 against Tomas Machac. To make it to Turin, he’ll need stellar results during this indoor season.
Frances Tiafoe also joins with hopes of redemption after his outburst against an umpire following a loss to Roman Safiullin. He quickly apologized for his actions, showing maturity and readiness to move forward positively.

Lorenzo Musetti has been playing well lately but started too slow earlier this year to qualify for ATP Finals contention. Meanwhile, Marin Cilic stands out as the only Grand Slam champion on board after making history as the lowest-ranked ATP title winner recently in Hangzhou.
This lineup promises thrilling matches ahead! Fans eagerly anticipate whether these players’ efforts will keep them alive in their quest towards Turin when they hit those courts next month!
What do you think about these exciting developments?
