The ATP Next Gen Finals 2025 already has its first two semifinalists once the first group has been resolved: Alexander Blockx and Nishesh Bassavareddy.

Meanwhile, the American needed the Belgian's victory after he himself defeated Justin Engel convincingly in the first match of the day by 4-3(3), 4-2, 4-3(5), in an hour and 12 minutes.

Rafael Jódar's magnificent journey in the Milan Challenger could not progress further. The Madrid native came to Italy to play his first tournament at this level in Europe, and the sensations have been more than positive.

Nevertheless, Jódar's good performance in the Milan tournament has propelled him up a total of 123 places in the ATP ranking. He arrived as the world number 677 and leaves at position 554. So far, everything is going as planned for the 18-year-old.
