Brandon Nakashima qualifies for 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals

American tennis player Brandon Nakashima has seen his hardwork over the summer pay off, securing a spot in this year's Next Gen ATP Finals.

The 21-and-under season finale will be played at the Allianz Cloud in Milan from 8-12 November. Nakashima will be joining Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune, Jack Draper and Jiri Lehecka.

Nakashima will compete in the prestigious event for the second consecutive year after advancing to the knockout semi-finals last November.

In July, Nakashima cracked the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time. The 21-year-old continued his ascent last month, when he won his first ATP Tour title in San Diego.

This California native has excelled on the big stage this year, reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon and the third round at both Roland Garros and the US Open. Nakashima is the youngest American in the world’s Top 100.
