TURIN, Italy :After Alex de Minaur snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in a devastating loss to Italian Lorenzo Musetti at the ATP Finals on Tuesday, the Australian said he cannot go on failing that way.

De Minaur battled back from going one set down to force a decider where he held a 5-3 lead, only for Musetti to win four games in succession in an incredible round-robin match in Turin that the Italian won 7-5 3-6 7-5.

"I think it's probably a good thing I don't express my feelings right now because they're quite dark," De Minaur said.

"It just feels like it's been that type of year where I've had what feels like a whole lot of matches that should have gone my way and just somehow don't."
