The NextGen ATP Finals will be moving homes following the 2025 event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The NextGen Finals, the year-end tournament for the rising stars on the ATP Tour, has been a permanent fixture since 2017.
The likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Joao Fonseca have won the event, which has been hosted in Italy and Saudi Arabia.
This year’s event will be the third and final event to take place in Saudi Arabia, with another location set to be confirmed for next year.
The NextGen ATP Finals is leaving Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has been announced to host a new Masters event from the 2028 season, but it will be losing the NextGen ATP Finals.
The event has been hosted in Jeddah since 2023, which saw Hamad Medjedovic crowned the winner, but the nation has opted out of hosting the tournament in 2026.
ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said: “We look forward to raising the bar once again with the event’s third edition in Jeddah this December.
“Our thanks go to the Saudi Tennis Federation and all event partners for their vision in creating something truly exceptional.
“As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to invite potential host cities to share in that vision as we build on the event’s continued growth and success.”
Saudi Arabia will continue to host the WTA Finals and the Six Kings Slam, both of which take place in Riyadh.
Who is playing the 2025 ATP NextGen Finals?
The 2025 NextGen Finals will take place between 17 and 21 December, but the official line-up is yet to be released.
Players qualify for the event due to their ATP Tour ranking, but they must be born after 2005 to be eligible for the 2025 tournament.
Based on rankings and year dates, the current eight players are set to be Jakub Mensik, Fonseca, Learner Tien, Alexander Blockx, Dino Prizmic, Martin Landaluce, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, and Nishesh Basavareddy.
| Rank | Player | Points | Birth year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | Jakub Menšík | 2,190 | 2005 |
| 24 | João Fonseca | 1,635 | 2006 |
| 38 | Learner Tien | 1,320 | 2005 |
| 102 | Alexander Blockx | 523 | 2005 |
| 121 | Dino Prižmić | 487 | 2005 |
| 130 | Martín Landaluce (ESP) | 455 | 2006 |
| 132 | Nicolai Budkov Kjær | 450 | 2006 |
| 135 | Nishesh Basavareddy | 349 | 2005 |
However, there is a very high chance that the likes of Mensik, Fonseca, and Tien will not play the tournament.
Each of them has more than confirmed their status as top 50 players, with Fonseca and Mensik earning ATP titles this season.
Tien also reached his first final at the China Open, where he lost to Sinner in straight sets in Beijing.
Should those three players not play the event, the likes of Rafael Jódar and Justin Engel will be waiting in the wings.
