NextGen Race: Justin Engel signs a memorable week and puts Jódar in trouble

Justin Engel has been breaking various records of early triumphs for some time, and this week he has become the first player born in 2007 to win a Challenger tournament. He accomplished this feat in Hamburg, defeating Cinà in the final and earning valuable ATP ranking points that place him in the ninth position in the Race Next Gen ATP Finals 2025. The German overtakes Rafael Jódar and casts doubt on the Spaniard's presence in this event, depending on whether there are two withdrawals among the qualifiers. It seems likely that Mensik and Fonseca may choose not to attend, and even Tien, but we will have to wait. Moreover, there are still weeks of competition ahead.
