The Next Gen ATP Finals will be the last official ATP tournament of the 2025 season, taking place from December 17 to 21 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The tournament will not feature 2024 champion Joao Fonseca, who, as the current World No. 24, opted to skip the event for U20 players.
However, there will be interesting names in the draw, led by young American Learner Tien—current World No. 28 in the ATP Rankings and a Next Gen finalist a year ago. Other standout names include Belgian Alexander Blockx, Croatian Dino Prizmic, and Spaniard Martin Landaluce.
Unlike the rest of ATP tournaments, the Next Gen Finals do not distribute ranking points, and the winner is not officially considered an ATP title champion—although the matches do count toward each player's official win-loss record. The tournament features a special format, with 8 players divided into two groups of four—similar to the ATP Finals. Matches are best-of-five sets, first to four games each, with a tiebreak at 3-all. Additionally, matches are played with no-ad scoring and reduced shot-clock times.
The tournament will feature a total prize pool of $2,101,250, an absolute record for the event, with a maximum of $539,750 available for an undefeated champion—someone who wins all five matches played.
Prize money is calculated based on match results. The participation fee for each player is $154,000, with an additional $37,500 for each Round Robin match win. A semi-final victory will be worth $116,000, and the championship match will yield the winner $157,250.

mandoist12-11-2026 - Andreeva with 11 games in a row to add to Saba's downward spiral issue !!! Personal feelings aside... Jess Pegula may want to reassess her evaluation of Mirra's abilities.
mandoist12-11-2026 - I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
