The eighth spot went to Italian wild card Liam Caruana, who won a national qualifying tournament.[1] Eligible players had to be 21 or under at the start of the year (born in 1997 or later for 2018 edition). 19-year-old Alex de Minaur was the youngest and only teenage player.

Due to participation in the ATP Finals the following week, Alexander Zverev again withdrew from the tournament because of an injury,[2] as did Denis Shapovalov, citing exhaustion.[3]
