Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson are the fourth couple qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals 2024 in Turin. They follow in the footsteps of Marcelo Arévalo/Mate Pavic, Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos and Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori in the tournament.
The Australians have had a stellar season, including winning their first Grand Slam at the US Open, where they barely lost a set on the way to the title. In New York, Purcel and Thompson became the first men aussies to win the US Open doubles since Todd Woodbridge triumphed with the Swede Jonas Bjorkman in 2003.
The victory was an example of improvement. Purcell and Thompson reached the Wimbledon final, where they had three consecutive championship points before losing to Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten.
The Australians also lifted titles in Dallas, Los Cabos and Houston this season. Although he did not contribute to his ranking alongside Purcell, Thompson also won the Madrid ATP Masters 1000 title partnering Sebastian Korda.
Purcell, 26, was a substitute at the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals with Matthew Ebden. Thompson, 30, will attend the season finale event for the first time in his career.
