Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus qualify for Nitto ATP Finals
South-African Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus of New Zealand have qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals.
Klaasen and Venus became the third team to qualify for the ATP Finals event after Marcus Daniell and Philipp Oswald beat Henri Kontinen and John Peers in the Vienna quarterfinal.
Klaasen, 37, and 32-year-old Venus are set to compete together at the prestigious season-ending event for the second consecutive year.
Klaasen and Venus, who have won two titles together this season, will be hoping to perform better at The O2 Arena in their second team appearance.
The two didn't impress at the ATP Finals event last year as they failed to make it past the Round Robin stage after finishing the group with one win and two losses.
However, Klaasen and Venus have proved together this year that they are capable of making deep runs at big tournaments.
Klaasen and Venus finished runners-up at the Rome Masters in May, before losing to eventual Wimbledon champions Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in the semifinal at The Championships.
The Nitto ATP Finals event will take place from November 10-18.
