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.

In a recent interview with Diario AS, Rafa Nadal offered one of the most honest and technical explanations as to why facing Novak Djokovic on hard courts was so challenging, especially in the later years of his career. According to the Mallorcan, the key wasn't just the level of the opponent, but the extreme physical demand required to maintain his best tennis during long matches on fast surfaces.
"With Novak, it was a bit more random. Especially on hard courts, when my physical condition no longer allowed me to make certain efforts, it became much harder for me", stated the Spaniard. Nadal admitted that, to have real chances, he needed a physical response that he didn't always find anymore. "To compete against him, I needed my body to respond in a way that, in recent years, it wasn't responding to me". He even tried to make changes in his game plan: "I had to try to shorten the points, but it was very difficult to beat Novak in two or three shots, something that could work for me against other opponents. I tried serve and volley or different tactics, but it didn't work for me". Nevertheless, Nadal pointed out that on clay and grass, he did find solutions, like in the 2018 Wimbledon semifinals, a match he recalls vividly, where he felt "the opportunities were more alive".

Just a few hours left for the highly anticipated match between Kyrgios and Sabalenka. The Battle of the Sexes 2.0, as the duel has been dubbed, will take place tomorrow, Sunday, December 28, at 5:00 pm peninsular time. A showdown that has been gaining momentum since its announcement and has been a recurring topic in recent weeks, generating statements like those of Garbiñe Muguruza, who strongly criticized the meeting.
Now, one of the protagonists, Nick Kyrgios, has reacted to several points about his opponent and has acknowledged that "Sabalenka has a lot of confidence in her game and is very aggressive when under pressure." The Australian has also mentioned that he has been watching some of Aryna's matches and has noticed how she has worked on her drop shot, so he will have to be attentive to the variety of the Belarusian. Lastly, Nick has praised Sabalenka, defining her as "one of the best competitors in tennis, both in the men's and women's circuits."

The British player analyzes the evolution in his tennis over the past year and responds to critics about the ATP schedule: "Each player can choose their own."
After the announcement of the Swiss player's retirement at the end of the 2026 season, we review the great nights of 'Stanimal' and his most remembered titles.
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! 🐐
