Jannik Sinner defeated Alex de Minaur in the final 4–2, 4–1, 4–2 to win the 2019 Next Generation ATP tennis final.

On 16 September, Jannik Sinner was announced as the Italian wild card.[6]

On 9 October, Félix Auger-Aliassime became the second player to qualify.[7]

On 16 October, Alex de Minaur qualified for the second consecutive year, having been the runner-up in 2018.[5]

Between 21 and 23 of October, Frances Tiafoe, Casper Ruud, Miomir Kecmanović and Ugo Humbert all qualified.[8] Mikael Ymer then qualified the following day after Felix Auger-Aliassime withdrew due to injury. Denis Shapovalov also withdrew on 1 November, which meant Alejandro Davidovich Fokina qualified.
