Next Gen ATP Finals Stars Discuss the leading duels ahead of Wednesday’s kickoff

December 15, 2025

The stars who competed in the next Finals presented by PIF may have had a fun time replacing Jet Skiing at Silver Sands in Jeddah beach, but that did not stop them from getting down to business and targeting their team opponents.

After all the smiles and wisecracks, the message is clear: Friendship Scream for a while as the first child is beaten.

Debatant Nicolai Budkov Kjaer arrives in Jeddah having won the tour titles leading the tour in 2025, but his opening match on Wednesday brings a familiar obstacle: Martin Landelies, who has beaten the Norwegian in every meeting this season. Add to that the changing memory of the final of the US Open Boys – when Budkov Kjaer fell to Rafael Jodar, and in the blue team.

“It’s mostly Martin and Rafa here,” said Budkov Kidkov, 19, of his biggest fight in Jeddah. “We’re the same age and they’ve always had the edge and I’ve never had a chance to beat them. It’s always been tough, but they’ve got the Edge…

“Maybe because Spain is developing faster than the north [of Europe]. They were some of my rivals when I was younger, so it’s nice to see them here. “

To participate, because they see opportunity instead of comfort in their LEXUS ATP Head2head series. With pre-season changes done and next Gen ATP Finals Spotlight Shining Brighting, the Spaniard knows past results can provide assurances.

“I beat him three times this year, but I think in our game he will change some things,” said Lation. “After the early season, he’s changed a lot, so we’ll see what happens.”

Landelice’s work does not stop there. He chases the top seed and last year’s tien, who is the last member of the blue team.

“The student is first [on my mind]but everyone is a good player, “said Landelice with a smile.” I played with some of them and they played very hard. So hopefully I’ll play a lot of games here and see which one is the hardest. “

In the red group, the history goes deep. Alexander Blockx and Dino Prizmic have been crossing paths since they were 11, a rival built in Juniored glory and raised for grand slam glory in 2023 – blockx lifting the boys’ open medal in Australia, prizmic following the title at Roland Garros.

Now, they are making their next finals presented by PIFs.

“I would say my biggest rival is the dino,” Blockx said. “We’ve played each other six times, and I think he’s won four. Every year we’ve been close. He’s had a lot of injuries the last few years, but even with those waiting, he’s playing in an unbelievable place.

“I’d say he’s one of the most consistent guys on the tour, so I think I’ll see him as my biggest rival.”

Prizmic responds with respect – and facts. In the field this is deep, he believes that all games carry equal risk, even if the words that go by blockx are long lasting.

“I think every player is my biggest rival here,” said Prizmic, who won two ATP Challenger Tour titles in 2025. “But if Alex told me [him] Because we are in the same group. You have a very good organization on the court, very advance and very good. He is very close to the base and very difficult to play with him. “

With short four-match sets, no-nonsense goals and slim margins for error, the Innovative Gen ATP Finals format can punish slow starts. Tien, one of two returning players in the field, knows this all too well.

“Nobody has a lot of experience playing this format, so it can be a toss-up,” Teen said. “I think it makes it more fun because Slow Start can take you out of fast games, so I think it’s fun to watch and fun to play and I’m looking forward to playing with it.”

While others come with specific words to circle, Jodar takes a broader view. With eight players able to rotate on any given day, the 19-year-old’s focus is more on competition and more dominance.

“I don’t have any big rivals … I just know that we are eight good players, and we all have a very high level, so it will be an exciting competition that will follow,” said Jodar, who wishes all the players the best of luck because it is a good competition against such competition.

“At the end of the day, everybody is good, so you have to go on the court and try to do the things you know – that’s what I’m trying to do.”
