Thu Dec 18 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Next Gen ATP Finals Kicks Off with Prižmić vs. Basavareddy Clash

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – December 15, 2025 – The 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals are set to begin tomorrow at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, with an intriguing Group Stage matchup between Croatia’s Dino Prižmić and American Nishesh Basavareddy.

Prižmić enters the tournament with a strong Challenger Tour record this year, boasting a 27-9 win-loss record and two titles in Zagreb and Bratislava. While he has shown promise on the main ATP Tour with a quarterfinal appearance in Umag, his success has primarily been on clay courts. His record on indoor hard courts, the surface for this tournament, stands at a less impressive 4-3.

Basavareddy, on the other hand, has had a more mixed season. Although his Challenger Tour record sits at 6-7, he reached the semifinal of the ASB Classic on the main Tour. Notably, the American has historically performed well on hard courts, including indoor surfaces, reaching two finals last year.

While this marks the first encounter between the two rising stars, their contrasting strengths make for an exciting match-up. Prižmić’s dominance on clay is undeniable, but Basavareddy’s established hard-court game is expected to give him an edge in this opening round.

Tennis analysts predict a close contest, with Basavareddy favored to win in four sets. Fans can catch the action live on Tennis Channel, TSN, and Sky Sports. Stay tuned for more updates from the Next Gen ATP Finals as the tournament unfolds.
