Next Gen ATP Finals: Van Assche second French qualifier, Tien also in Jeddah
The cast for the Next Gen ATP Finals is taking shape. On Monday, the first four players qualified for the tournament in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
They are Alex Michelsen, Jakub Mensik, Arthur Fils and Shang Juncheng.
This Tuesday, November 26, two new players are guaranteed to take part in the tournament. Good news for the people of France: Luca Van Assche (20) will be taking part.
A semi-finalist last year, he lost to Arthur Fils and is aiming to do at least as well this season.
The second qualifier of the day (and sixth overall) is Learner Tien.
An American revelation this season, the 18-year-old left-hander has won three Challenger titles this year and has just achieved the best ranking of his career with a 114th place.
Only two tickets remain to be distributed for qualification. The tournament takes place from December 18 to 22.
