Roger Federer, whose season was curtailed by injury, did not qualify for the ATP year-end finals tournament for the first time since 2001, thus ending his record streak of 14 consecutive appearances. He also fell to number 16 in the ATP rankings as a result, the first time he had fallen out of the top 10 since August 12, 2002, thus ending his streak of 734 consecutive weeks in the top 10. Rafael Nadal qualified, but withdrew due to injury. Gaël Monfils, Dominic Thiem and David Goffin (as an alternate replacing Monfils) made their debuts in the event.
