Videos - Shang's wonderful shot at the Next Gen Masters
Wednesday sees the start of hostilities at the Masters Next Gen. This very special tournament serves as a laboratory for the ATP to test potential new rules to be implemented on the circuit.
Bringing together the eight best players under the age of 21, the event is not without importance, and winning it is often a very promising signal.
In the first pool match of this 2024 edition, Luca Van Assche and Juncheng Shang faced off. And although victory went to the Frenchman, the point of the match went unquestionably to the Chinese (see video below).
A volley and a point like you don't see enough of.
