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.
