This Friday afternoon saw the conclusion of the Red Group at the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals. The final day of the group stage was played, and the first two qualifiers for the semifinals are now known.

Alexander Blockx and Nishesh Basavareddy will indeed be present for the semifinals scheduled this Saturday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Impressive since the start of the tournament, the Belgian concluded his group stage with a third victory in as many matches. The world No. 116 dominated Dino Prizmic (4-3, 2-4, 4-2, 4-0) and logically finishes at the top of the group.

On his side, the American, now coached by Gilles Cervara, defeated Justin Engel (4-3, 4-2, 4-3). The German was unable to win a match in this tournament, while Prizmic is also eliminated.
