“On December 19, victories were won by Nishesh Basavareddy, Alex Mikkelsen, Arthur Fies, Joao Fonseca”, — write: sport.ua
On Thursday, matches of the second round took place in each of the groups. Based on the results of two confrontations, the first semi-finalists were determined.
Red group. 2nd round
Blue group. 2nd round
Thanks to their victories, Alex Mickelsen and Joao Fonseca guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs.
A funny incident happened in the match between Fis and Menshik, who were considered the main contenders for the trophy before the start of the competition. During a toilet break, Menshik was asked to take a doping test, which surprised not only the tennis player, but also the judge and the supervisor.
By the way, Menshik lost the chances of getting out of the Blue Group. Artur Fias and Lerner Tien will play for the second ticket to the semi-finals from this quartet.
The situation is similar in the Red Group. Alex Mickelsen will be followed by either Luca Van Asch or Nishesh Basavareddy, who will face each other in the final round. Shang Junchen prematurely lost his chances for the semi-finals.
On Friday, December 20, matches of the third round of the Next Gen ATP Finals will be held in Jeddah.
