Tien returns to Next Gen ATP Finals title match, faces Blockx

Learner Tien returned to the title match at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF on Saturday in Jeddah, where he moved past friend Nishesh Basavareddy 4-2, 4-1, 4-3(3).

The American lost to Brazilian star Joao Fonseca in the final 12 months ago but will aim to go one step further on Sunday when he meets 20-year-old Belgian Alexander Blockx. Returning to Jeddah as the top seed this year, Tien is the second man in tournament history to reach multiple finals at the event, joining World No. 7 Alex de Minaur (2018-19).

“I won the first and had chances in the second before he just ran away with it,” Tien said of his final defeat to Fonseca last year. “I will try not to let that happen tomorrow… I know Alex has been playing great this week, so I’m really excited.”

World No. 28 Tien arrived at the 20-and-under tournament as the strong favourite after a standout year, highlighted by his first tour-level title at the 250 event in Metz. However, he suffered a stuttering start to his campaign when he lost to Rafael Jodar in five sets in his round-robin opener.

With the pressure on, the lefty responded with wins against Martin Landaluce and Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and was in control throughout the 75-minute semi-final encounter with Basavareddy, who received two medical timeouts for a deep cut on his finger.

In a controlled performance, Tien displayed the level that earned him five Top 10 wins in 2025, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. He recovered from dropping serve in the opening game of the first two sets, dictating the tempo with clean baseline ball-striking. The 20-year-old committed six fewer unforced errors than Basavareddy (19-25) and struck at the right moments to prevail. Tien will play Blockx on Sunday at 8pm local time.

The 20-year-old Basavareddy, who went 2-1 in the round-robin stage, was joined by coach Gilles Cervara at a tournament for the first time since the pair joined forces at the start of December. Basavareddy’s best result in 2025 came at the ATP 250 event in Auckland, where he reached the semi-finals.

Big-time Blockx fires past 'best friend' Budkov Kjaer into Jeddah final

Alexander Blockx moved to within one win of a debut title at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF, thanks to another big-time performance on Saturday evening.

As well as deploying the explosive game that has defined his run in Jeddah, the 20-year-old Belgian showcased supreme physicality to fend off close friend Nicolai Budkov Kjaer 4-3(4), 4-3(8), 4-2. Blockx, who attended the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals in 2017 as a fan, now awaits top seed Learner Tien or Nishesh Basavareddy in Sunday’s final.

“I think it may have been straight sets but it was my most difficult match this week by far,” Blockx said. “I think the level we both played was really high. The second set, again it is just here that the luck fell on my side a bit. We had some very long rallies and I am very happy I could share this moment with him.

“We have been speaking about the Next Gen for a long time. In September we were talking: ‘Imagine if we made it to Jeddah and played each other there’, so it is amazing to have been able to share this match with him. He is one of my best friends on Tour so it was a really nice Saturday for me.”

In a first Lexus ATP Head2Head contest between the two big hitters, Blockx was dragged into a physical battle after winning the opening set. Budkov Kjaer extended the rallies and displayed shot tolerance of his own to signal there was still life left in the 19-year-old Norwegian.

The power of Blockx, however, proved too much. A blistering forehand pass on the run in the final game was one of 27 winners the Belgian hit during the semi-final, adding to the 76 he fired en route to a 3-0 sweep of the Red Group.

“It sounds exciting,” Blockx said on Sunday’s final. “I am going to prepare the best I can. I think physically I am feeling good, even though these are tough matches and you have shorter time between the points. The rallies go longer and with the no Ads you don’t have too much time to think, so I think the most important time here is to stay calm in the head and that is what I am doing.”

In 2025, Blockx captured two ATP Challenger Tour titles and claimed his first tour-level win in Cincinnati to earn his place at the 20-and-under event. The 2023 Australian Open boys’ champion also reached a career-high No. 101 in the PIF ATP Rankings and will be sure to target a Top 100 debut in 2026.

Tien & Blockx reveal how the Next Gen ATP Finals format is testing their campaigns

There is no easing your way into a match at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF.

Sets fly to four, points come thick and fast, and before players can even towel off, momentum has already shifted. It’s tennis stripped of its safety nets, and as we have seen so far, this format rewards sharp starts, brave decisions and an unwavering focus from first ball to last.

Top seed Learner Tien, who let slip four match points in a bitter opening defeat to Rafael Jodar, has felt just how quickly control can slip away.

“I’m not sure if it’s the format and it might just be me, but I feel like this week I’ve been struggling to focus in some of these matches,” Tien told ATPTour.com after notching his first win over Martin Landaluce. “My mind just kind of goes in and out, especially when I get up in the score, and with this format, momentum can change really quick.

“I get up and then I take a few points off and suddenly we’re in a no-Ad point and momentum just shifts so quickly that suddenly you can lose a set off of one game.”

<img alt=”Learner Tien, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer” style=”width:100%;” src=”/-/media/images/news/2025/12/20/13/20/in-arena-stats-jeddah-2025.jpg?w=100%25″ />_{^{Live in-arena statistics are available to players, coaches and fans. Photo: Corinne Dubreuil/ATP Tour}}

That razor-thin margin is magnified by sudden-death Deuce. For Belgium’s Alexander Blockx, those moments have been opportunities rather than obstacles. The 20-year-old has thrived when matches tighten, a big reason why he completed a perfect 3-0 sweep of his group.

“Knowing a loss of serve could be costly for a set or having more break opportunities with the sudden-death Deuce comes into my head, but this week I feel I have played those big points well,” said Blockx, who saved 86 per cent (19/22) of break points across the group stage, according to Infosys ATP Stats. “I focus more when it’s a deciding point.

“I don’t think too much about the pressure of those points, I just play full out and I think how I have handled the big moments has been important to why I made a good start here and qualified for the semi-finals.”

By crushing 76 winners across his first three group matches, Blockx offers a perfect example of how to expertly utilise aggression in this fast-paced format. That attacking mindset is reinforced in real time, with in-arena analytics giving players, coaches and fans insights into who is dictating points, how shots are performing across every stroke, and which player is winning the battle when on the front foot — or scrambling in defence.

Read the rules and innovations here

Fast starts have been another recurring theme throughout the week. With sets to four, falling behind early can be costly. Croatia’s Dino Prizmic experienced that the hard way in his opening defeat to Nishesh Basavareddy, but struck back with a sharp opening against Justin Engel.

“For the first set, it is very important to have a fast start but matches are long, needing to win three sets,” Prizmic said after his four-set win over Engel. “A fast start is important and you have to adapt quickly, but if you can make a fast start you can take a lot of control quickly.”

The physical rhythm of the match is also altered by the lack of a changeover after the first game of a set For Prizmic, there is no room to hide and settle in easily. Instead, you have to be locked in and ready for battle from the get-go.

“For me it is better not to change every first game. Sometimes I sit down in matches after one game and I am a little bit cold, and then I need to find some rhythm and get warm again,” explained the 20-year-old. “Here it’s good because we can play three games in a row to start and you get warm straight away.”

Layered on top of the on-court intensity is a round-robin format that offers both pressure and opportunity. Every match matters, but one loss doesn’t spell the end, a dynamic that mirrors the challenge of life on Tour.

Tien, for example, rebounded from his opening heartbreak to top his group, while Jodar was eliminated despite also finishing with a positive 2-1 record.

“It is a very tough but good experience,” Prizmic said of the format. “Every win is very important and you have to stay balanced after a group defeat as you can come back. Everyone is also inside the Top 200, so you are straight into it.”

That, ultimately, is the magic of the Next Gen ATP Finals. It rewards boldness, punishes hesitation and accelerates development. A high-octane proving ground where the future of men’s tennis learns to live on the edge.

Friends Turn Foes: Tien meets Basavareddy, Blockx faces Budkov Kjaer in Jeddah SFs

Friends collide on Saturday as American Learner Tien faces countryman Nishesh Basavareddy and Alexander Blockx meets Nicolai Budkov Kjaer for a place in the championship match at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF.

Close friends Blockx and Budkov Kjaer square off in the first semi-final at 7 p.m local time, followed by the all-American battle between last year’s finalist Tien and sixth seed Basavareddy, not before 9 p.m.

It is a memorable stage for players who grew up crossing paths on the junior circuit, and are now reunited in Jeddah, standing across the net from each other and within one win of a final berth at the 20-and-under event.

[1] Learner Tien (USA) vs [6] Nishesh Basavareddy (USA) [not before 9 p.m.]
The only players in this year’s field who are making their second consecutive appearance, Tien and Basavareddy bring added experience to the semi-finals. The lefty Tien cracked the Top 30 of the PIF ATP Rankings in November following his maiden tour-level triumph in Metz.

The 20-year-old has built his winning streak to eight consecutive matches and will put that to the test against Basavareddy, who he defeated 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-2 at this year’s Wimbledon, their lone Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting.

“We’ve played a decent bit since we were very young,” Tien said of Basavareddy. “We grew up pretty close to each other, both from the States, so we’d see each other at a lot of Challengers. It’s been cool for him to make his way up as I’ve been making my way up. It’s great to see a familiar face at these tournaments, so I think It’ll be cool to share the court with him.”

The clash between Tien and Basavareddy promises to be a tug of war in court coverage and a life-size chess match from the baseline. Both players have relatively new voices in their corner. Basavareddy this month announced his new partnership with Gilles Cervara, a renowned coach who most recently worked with Daniil Medvedev. Former World No. 2 Michael Chang coaches Tien, after officially joining the lefty’s team in August.

[2] Alexander Blockx (BEL) vs [5] Nicolai Budkov Kjaer (NOR) [starts at 7 p.m.]
Both players possess the ability to rip the felt off the ball from the first strike, each averaging 11 aces per match this week, according to Infosys ATP Stats. Control of the baseline will be paramount as Blockx and Budkov Kjaer fight to dictate rallies in their maiden Lexus ATP Head2Head clash. In the first-to-4 format, there is no margin for error.

“I think I have a big serve,” Budkov Kjaer said before the tournament. “That is the key thing for me if I want to beat the best guys, I have to have that in the toolbox.”

Blockx and Budkov Kjaer are close friends who both claimed junior Slam titles before transitioning to professional tennis. Blockx won the 2023 Australian Open boys’ singles event — defeating Tien in the final — while Budkov Kjaer captured the 2024 Wimbledon junior crown.

The second seed Blockx is into the semi-finals after posting a perfect 3-0 record in round-robin action. Budkov Kjaer began the week 2-0 before suffering a four-set loss to Tien on Thursday. Budkov Kjaer’s head-to-head win against Rafael Jodar was enough for the 19-year-old to secure second place over the Spaniard, who also finished 2-1 in Blue Group. The Oslo native, one of six players to win a season-leading four ATP Challenger titles this season, is the second Norwegian (Casper Ruud) to compete at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF.

Budkov Kjaer: A ‘sleepless night’, sweet revenge & a dream run in Jeddah

Winning has been a familiar feeling for Nicolai Budkov Kjaer throughout 2025, and stepping on court at the and the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF hasn’t changed that rhythm one bit.

Two things have driven the 19-year-old’s run to becoming the first Norwegian semi-finalist at the event: a sharp competitive memory and a body that just keeps giving. Budkov Kjaer’s campaign in Jeddah began with his first win in four tries over Martin Landaluce, following it up with a composed victory against Rafael Jodar, the same opponent who denied him a second consecutive major title in the US Open boys’ final last year.

“It was a bitter loss. Two Grand Slams as a junior is special because many win one, but very few win two,” Budkov Kjaer told ATPTour.com in Jeddah. “I still remember the airplane ride, I was struggling to sleep. It was a tough loss.”

If anything, it was a loss that seemed to spark what came next. In 2025, Budkov Kjaer scooped four ATP Challenger Tour titles and rose to World No. 132 en route to earning his place at the 20-and-under showpiece.

At 6’3”, Budkov Kjaer’s weapons are obvious from the stands: a lively serve, clean power off both wings and the confidence to pull the trigger indoors, where he’s already won twice this year. But so far in Jeddah, it’s what’s at the heart of the points that has stood out.

“I’m quite pleased with a lot of things this week, but I think my physicality is really good,” said Budkov Kjaer, who won 11/14 rallies over nine shots against Landaluce, according to Infosys ATP Stats. “I’m moving extremely well and I don’t think I need to rush the rallies because I have a good base now.

“I was talking a lot with my coaches in the preseason about how I’m quite good physically. The longer the point, the better for me. Especially with Martin [Landaluce], who has an aggressive game, it’s a bit tougher to always play with a small margin, so maybe I took some inspiration from my countryman Casper [Ruud], who plays with the high spin and good margins.”

Watch Jeddah Highlights: Budkov Kjaer vs. Landaluce

Ruud, the former World No. 2 and three-time major finalist, is a familiar face in Budkov Kjaer’s journey, someone he’s practised with often and openly refers to as a ‘big brother’ figure. Yet this week, the 19-year-old has nudged past his countryman in one small but notable way, becoming the first Norwegian to reach the semi-finals in tournament history.

Budkov Kjaer has shown just why he is one of the brightest prospects on the ATP Tour so far in Jeddah, all with a tight-knit support system in tow. His sister, who is also a tennis player, has been a constant presence, alongside his parents — coach Alexander Kjaer and mother Tatiana.

“I’ve always been a guy that likes to compete and play matches — I get motivated by that,” Budkov Kjaer said when asked about his 2025 season. “I really like playing a lot of matches each year because you have all the pressure, all the emotions. You can never train like it is in a match. I think it’s a good thing and something I will keep doing, of course.

“I’m still super young, so I have a big career in front of me. I hope I’m not at my peak yet… I hope I play better in every tournament I come to and I think I am getting better and playing some of my best tennis right now.”

— Next Gen ATP Finals (@nextgenfinals) December 18, 2025

There has also been a lighter edge to his wins this week. Landaluce and Jodar aren’t just rivals, but friends, which has made the victories sweeter and post-match exchanges around the locker room and practice courts a little more playful.

“To get revenge is always fun and to do it against good friends is also fun because you joke and tease each other about it,” said Budkov Kjaer. “It’s cool that the revenge came here and in a special tournament. It’s always cool to win even if it’s revenge or not.”

Having lost to top seed and last year’s finalist Learner Tien on Friday night, Budkov Kjaer finished second in the Blue Group. Standing between him and a spot in Sunday’s final is 20-year-old Alexander Blockx. The pair clash in its first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting not before 7 p.m. local time. Former champions of the innovative event include Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Tien tops Budkov Kjaer, both advance to Jeddah SFs

Learner Tien and Nicolai Budkov Kjaer secured their spots in the semi-finals of the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF after a dramatic Friday evening in Jeddah.

Tien, who reached the final last year in Jeddah, defeated Budkov Kjaer 3-4(2), 4-1, 4-2, 4-2 to win the Blue Group with a 2-1 round-robin record and set a semi-final showdown against countryman Nishesh Basavreddy. When Budkov Kjaer won the opening set, that was enough to place him in the last four. With Tien needing either a three or four-set victory to advance, the top seed accomplished precisely that, knocking out Rafael Jodar.

“Not really,” Tien said when asked if he felt any pressure after losing the first set. “It’s a longer format, three out of five, the sets can go by quick… I thought I served pretty well the whole match, I didn’t get broken in the first set and he played a good tie-break. I didn’t feel like I played a bad set, so I wasn’t super worried.

“I think I’m adjusting to the conditions and getting a little bit better day by day, so I’m happy with that. This is my last year here, so I’m really trying to make the most out of it.”

The 20-year-old Tien increased his level as the match wore on and dictated more rallies from the baseline in the latter stages. The lefty protected his second serve, winning 76 per cent (13/17) of those points, according to Infosys ATP Stats, compared to the 19-year-old’s 38 per cent (6/16).

Tien, the top seed in Jeddah and heavy favourite entering the week, began the event with a loss to Jodar, who saved four match points to escape the American. Jodar
needed any result Friday besides a four-set win from the American to advance. Tien rebounded with wins against Martin Landaluce and Budkov Kjaer, the second Norwegian to compete at the event (Casper Ruud) in its eight-year history. Budkov Kjaer will face Red Group winner Alexander Blockx in the semi-finals.

Earlier, Jodar put aside his friendship with Landaluce, ousting his countryman with a 4-3(7), 4-1, 4-3(2) victory. Blasting 31 winners across the match, Jodar held his nerve when it mattered most, including in the first set when he fended off four set points.

“I’m very happy how I handled the important moments and the pressure moments in this match,” said Jodar. “Super happy to get the win here. I’ve been playing against him for a long time. We are very good friends. We are from the same tennis club, Club de Tenis Chamartin.”

With his idol Rafael Nadal in attendance, Jodar again kept his cool in the fourth-set tie-break to avoid any late drama.

“Rafa has been my idol for a long time, since I was very young,” said the teenager. “I used to watch all of his matches. He was my role model in tennis. I’m super happy that he was here. It means a lot that he came to Saudi Arabia to watch this tournament.”

Jodar was also watertight behind his second serve, having won 92 per cent (12/13) of his second-serve points, according to the Infosys ATP Stats.

Nadal delights fans in Jeddah

Fan Zone at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF had extra buzz Friday night when 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal made a special appearance.

Still sporting a cast on his right hand and wrist after recent surgery – but no longer with his arm in a sling – Nadal spent an extended period in pleasantly cool evening conditions posing for photos with delighted Saudi fans.

Nadal later watched the all-Spanish clash between Rafael Jodar and Martin Landaluce, who trains at Nadal’s academy in Mallorca. 

Nadal, who has served as an ambassador for the Saudi Tennis Federation since the start of 2024, will remain in Jeddah through Sunday’s final of the 20-and-under showpiece at King Abdullah Sports City.

The former No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings promotes tennis throughout the Kingdom. His involvement includes encouraging grassroots participation, supporting training programs, and helping plan the future of the sport.

“We love this event, we have come before and it is great to see the young players,” said fan Jayshree Babu, who is a ‘major’ Roger Federer fan. “I think tennis is really picking up as a sport in Saudi and it is good to see the attraction it is gaining. With people like Nadal coming, it only adds to the excitement and growth.”
