Every tennis fan already has the itch to witness top-level live tennis again, and that's what the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025 will offer. Halfway between a cherry on top of one season and an appetizer for the next, the tournament gathering the top eight under-20 players has many incentives. We'll tell you everything you need to know.

The stars of the future will meet in Jeddah from December 17 to 21 to determine who emerges as the champion of the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025, laying the groundwork for a medium-term rise to glory and gaining crucial confidence to expedite and solidify their maturity process. Learner Tien is the top favorite, Spaniards Martín Landaluce and Rafael Jódar promise excitement, but other names like Alexander Blockx or Justin Engel cannot be overlooked. 

Calendar and Schedule of the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025

Matches played best of five sets, each set consists of four games, free movement of fans in the stands, advanced statistics in all aspects of the game... These are some of the peculiarities of a tournament with a special regulation, highlighting the sudden-death point when reaching Deuce, with the returner choosing where their opponent serves.

Each player will compete in three matches in the group stage, with the top two advancing to the semifinals. From Wednesday, December 17th, to Friday, December 19th, two sessions will be held; one starting at 14:00 local time (12:00h in Spain) and the other at 19:00 local time (17:00h in Spain), each consisting of two matches. The semifinals will take place on Saturday at 19:00h and 21:00h in Saudi Arabia, meaning 17:00h and 19:00h in Spain, while the grand final will be held on Sunday, December 21st, at 20:00h in Jeddah, 18:00h in Spain.

Favorites and Main Title Contenders at the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025

The absences of Fonseca and Mensik have made Learner Tien the highest-ranked player present. The American lefty comes with the necessary credentials to be considered the top favorite, but in his group, he will have to contend with the opposition from the two Spanish players, Martín Landaluce and Rafael Jódar, as well as the Norwegian Nicolai Budkov-Kjaer. It will be particularly interesting to see Jódar, whose potential seems very remarkable.

In the other group, everything seems wide open, with Justin Engel as a potential dark horse due to his youth, while Nishesh Bassavareddy and Dino Prizmic will try to leverage their experience against an Alexander Blockx who is the most formidable player in the group. Tien's group appears to be the group of death, and the competitive format could lead to many surprises.

Prize Money and Ranking Points at the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025

While this is an officially endorsed ATP event, it does not distribute ATP ranking points, a logical outcome given the peculiarities of its scoring system. It holds the same status as the Laver Cup, with wins and losses for each player counted in head-to-head records, but without contributing to their ranking points. Concerning the prize money, Saudi Arabia will distribute a very attractive purse, totaling $2,101,250.

  • Participation fee: $154,000
  • Group stage victory: $37,500
  • Semifinal victory: $116,000
  • Final victory: $157,250
  • Undefeated champion: $539,750
