As is tradition at the ATP Finals, every year promising young tennis players are chosen to spar with the world's best players. Hitting balls with Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner will be one of the best experiences these young players can have in their budding careers, and their role will be crucial as they will help significantly in preparing for the tournament. This year, Alcaraz and company will have the number 1 junior Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, who was the junior Wimbledon champion in 2024 in singles, doubles champion at Roland Garros 2024, and finalist at the US Open 2024. On the other hand, the ATP has also selected Juan Prado to be part of the sparring team. This 19-year-old became the first Bolivian man in history to reach the junior final of a Grand Slam at Roland Garros 2023, currently ranked 280th. Let's remember that in the past year, the sparring team included Gonzalo Bueno, Joao Fonseca, and Nishesh Basavareddy in 2023, and Daniel Vallejo or Lautaro Midón in 2022.
