“On December 18, victories were won by: Luca van Asch, Alex Mikkelsen, Lerner Tien, Joao Fonseca”, — write: sport.ua
In the 1st round of the youth final tournament (players not older than 21 years old), fans saw a lot of unexpected results.
Red group. 1st round
Blue group. 1st round
It should be noted that only Mickelsen managed to win as the favorite. Shan, Menshik and Fis (the Czech and the French are generally considered the main contenders for the tournament trophy) were sensationally defeated.
Lerner’s success should be singled out separately. In the tie-break of the decisive game, the American tennis player was behind Fis with a score of 1:4 and 3:5, but managed to win, even winning the match point 6:7 on the serve.
The matches of the second round of the Next Gen ATP Finals will be held in Jeddah on Thursday, December 19.
The schedule of matches of the second round at the Youth Final Tournament:
Red group. 2nd round, December 19
Blue group. 2nd round, December 19
