The supposed 'favorites', by ranking and status within the circuit, are not showing such condition in the ATP Next Gen Finals 2024. Names like Fils or Mensik fell defeated yesterday, and the first man to end up with a 0-2 record is Juncheng Shang, nominated for Newcomer of the Year and one of the great appearances of the season. Today, he ended mentally exhausted against the solid Nishesh Basavareddy, who came back from a tough first set and showed that his way of building points and his mindset can be great assets for the future (3-4, 4-2, 4-2, 4-1). Therefore, the American is left with a 1-1 result and still has options to advance to the semifinals.
