Alexander Blockx will play the most important final of his career so far tomorrow. The Belgian defeated Nicolai Budkov Kjaer by 4-3 (4), 4-3 (8), 4-2 to reach the last round of the Next Gen ATP Finals 2025. Blockx, who had qualified as the group winner with all wins in his matches, didn't give the Norwegian any chances. His serving solidity (10 aces) and aggressiveness from the baseline eventually earned him the match in 1 hour and 25 minutes. His opponent in the final will come from the match between the Americans Learner Tien and Nishesh Basavareddy.

The debate about the 'GOAT' seems to be eternal. With Federer and Nadal retired, and Djokovic in the final stages of his career, the image is starting to become clearer to analyze who out of the three has had the better career. Opinions are diverse, and this time it was the players of the Next Gen ATP Finals who have had their say. The two Spaniards, Jódar and Landaluce, have chosen Nadal as the greatest tennis player in history. Alexander Blockx and Budkov Kjaer have gone with Federer, while the Croatian Dino Prizmic, Engel, and Basavareddy have opted for Djokovic as the greatest of all time. On the other hand, Learner Tien preferred not to take sides and did not dare to give any name. Less division exists about their current favorite players, where Alcaraz and Sinner received the majority of votes.

 

Even NextGen is divided on the choice of the GOAT! 🐐

The fratricidal duel between Rafael Jódar and Martín Landaluce in the third day of the Next Gen ATP Finals has had another completely unexpected Spanish protagonist.

After several days of intense media buzz following his breakup with Juan Carlos Ferrero, Carlos Alcaraz has returned to the court in Murcia, where he continues to prepare for the start of the 2026 season and, particularly, his readiness for the Australian Open. A return to his hometown routine comes just a day after he performed the honorary serve at the Copa del Rey match between Real Murcia and Real Betis. In the video shared on social media, Alcaraz is focused on technical work, paying special attention to his backhand. A sign that the Spaniard is fine-tuning specific aspects of his game for a demanding upcoming season.
