Mensik, Fonseca, Tien: The Race to Qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals Is Underway!
In Jeddah this coming December, the young talents of world tennis will compete in the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals.
From December 17 to 21, the eight best young players on the ATP Tour will face off at the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. With three months to go before the tournament, the race for qualification is already underway, and three players who participated in the competition last year are currently well-positioned to return to the Middle East at the end of the year.
Jakub Mensik, who won the Miami Masters 1000 earlier this season against Djokovic, currently leads the Race rankings among players aged 20 or under with 2,030 points.
Next, it’s the reigning champion of the tournament, João Fonseca, who is in second place, and last year’s runner-up, Learner Tien, who rounds out the top three. If the competition were to start next week, five other players would also be in the mix.
As of September 24, these players are Dino Prizmic, Alexander Blockx, Nishesh Basavareddy, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, and Martin Landaluce. Other players like Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez and Federico Cina are lurking and could disrupt the race in this final stretch of the season.
