Next Gen ATP Finals 2024: Semi-finals schedule
After three days of intense group stage action, the pace is set to pick up again in Jeddah.
Now it's time for the semi-finals of the Next Gen ATP Finals. The final four players will attempt to reach the final on Saturday evening.
At around 7pm (local time, 5pm in France), the first ticket to Sunday's grand final will be decided between two American players.
Unbeaten so far, Alex Michelsen is one of the favorites for the title.
After defeating Basavareddy, Van Assche and Shang (by withdrawal), the number 2 seed in the Saudi tournament will face his compatriot and friend Learner Tien.
Then, from 9pm local time, the other semi-final will pit João Fonseca against Luca Van Assche.
The Frenchman had already reached the semi-finals of the same tournament last year, but was eliminated by Arthur Fils.
For his part, the Brazilian impressed and showed an excellent level in the group stages. He overcame Fils, Tien and then Mensik in a match that will go down as one of the best of this 2024 edition.
As a reminder, the grand final will take place on Sunday at 8pm local time.
