Matteo Arnaldi did not hesitate to praise the Spaniard and his fellow countryman, stating that he has a new coach, despite a very irregular 2025, but warns: "if I am in good shape, I am dangerous."
The ATP Next Gen Finals 2025 already has its first two semifinalists once the first group has been resolved: Alexander Blockx and Nishesh Bassavareddy. The Belgian advances to the penultimate round as the group winner without having lost any matches so far, after defeating Dino Prizmic in their last match by 4-3(7), 2-4, 4-2, 4-0, in an hour and 36 minutes. 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. Now it remains to be seen who the two lucky players from the other group will be, where Rafa Jódar and Martín Landaluce still have a chance to qualify.

After the end of the professional relationship between the Murcian tennis player and the Valencian coach, we remember other tennis separations that surprised the tennis world.
Times of change for Naomi Osaka. After a year in which she has shown consistency that has brought her back to the top ranks of the WTA (16th), the Japanese player has made a significant decision off the courts. She has parted ways with Stuart Duguid, her agent who has been by her side throughout her career and with whom she co-founded Evolve, her own representation agency in 2022, where Aryna Sabalenka is also represented. But not only has she left her agent, but she has also departed from the agency she founded herself, as reported by journalist Ben Rothenberg.

Greg Rusedski, former number four in the ATP rankings, gives his opinion on the possible reasons for the break-up: "Maybe he is playing too many exhibition matches."
The tennis world remains in shock two days after the split between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero.

While it is clear that Samu López will be the coach of the player from Murcia, doubts arise about Juan Carlos Ferrero's future. However, according to reports from CLAY, the Valencian has decided to take a break of several months, and if, once that time has passed, he receives an interesting offer, he would return to the circuit.

The two Spanish players will face off for the second spot in their group: If Jódar wins, he secures a spot in the semifinals, while Landaluce needs a victory and must wait for the Tien-Kjaer match.
It has not been the day for the Spaniards at the ATP Next Gen Finals 2025: 2 matches and 2 defeats. First, it was Rafa Jódar, and then Martín Landaluce followed, who suffered his second consecutive defeat after losing to Learner Tien by 4-1, 1-4, 3-4(4), 3-4(2), after an hour and 33 minutes of play. This further complicates the aspirations of the Madrid player, who must first defeat Rafa Jódar and then hope for a victory by Nikolai Budkov Kjaer against Tien. If neither of these conditions is met, he will be eliminated.
