Baez Qualifies For Milan

Following Jenson Brooksby's withdrawal due to an abdominal injury, Sebastian Baez has qualified for the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, to be played from 9-13 November. The Argentine joins countryman Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the field.
The 20-year-old, who started the year at No. 309 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, is at a career-high No. 111 thanks to his historic efforts this year.
Baez became the youngest player in history to claim five ATP Challenger Tour titles in a season, lifting the trophy in Concepcion (d. F. Cerundolo), Santiago (d. Barrios Vera), Zagreb (d. Varillas), Santiago-3 (d. Meligeni Rodrigues Alves) and Buenos Aires (d. Monteiro).
The Buenos Aires native also earned his first tour-level win at the Hamburg European Open, where he defeated Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the first round.
