Race to #NextGenATP Finals heating up with Sinner and Auger-Aliassime leading standings
ATPFriday, 30 July 2021 at 06:30
The Next Gen ATP Finals are set to take place in November once again after the tournament with some of the hottest prospects in Tennis was shelved in 2020.
Jannik Sinner is the defending champion and in the race to Milan, he is leading the way. The Italian will return to home soil seemingly with 1,520 points seeing him lead proceedings.
This despite losing on his return to action after Wimbledon to Christopher O'Connell at Atlanta. He will hope to further his cause at the US Open series.
As will Felix Auger-Aliassime who now sits at eight finals and eight defeats but the ever improving Canadian is currently World No.15 and sits alongside Sinner with 1,365 points.
Rounding out the top three is Sebastian Korda who is now up to a career high of No.46 with victory at the Emilia-Romagna seeing a breakout for the American who is the son of Petr Korda.
He is currently ahead on 1,045 points ahead of two of the highest touted prospects in Lorenzo Musetti and recent first-time ATP winner, Carlos Alcaraz on 811 and 779 respectively.
Recent Hall of Fame Open finalist Jenson Brooksby and Hugo Gaston who reached the final in Gstaad sit inside the top eight.
All Next Gen ATP stars are aged 21 and under and they compete for a place in Milan and one of seven spots with the eighth spot going to an Italian wildcard to be decided.
Brandon Nakashima (9th), Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune (11th) and Thiago Seyboth-Wild (15th) sit just outside those spots currently with a lot still to play for.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
