NextGen Finals 2023: Challenger Frequents Making their Mark
An Introductory Post to the NextGen Finalists 2023
Tumblr media
The NextGen ATP Finals 2023 logo (📸 ATP Tour)
The field for this year’s NextGen Finals, which will be held in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) during the last weeks of November, has been set. Interestingly, just like parts of the field last year, all contenders made their mark in the ATP Challenger Tour throughout the year, which became part of the tennis Tour that showcased their potential even deeper.
This post will celebrate the next generation of tennis, serving as a recap of their season and what to expect before the Bootcamp, where everyone will get to know them better in a series of off-court challenges in one of the innovations of this year’s NextGen Finals. Furthermore, with an emphasis on the Challenger Tour, this would hopefully bring more exposure to the Challenger Tour, which became the intermediary between the rising players, those trying to rediscover their form, and those still trying to break even.
For this year, the NextGen Finals qualifying window was open until November 20, 2023, the day after the finals in 5 Challenger events this year were held. Eventually, it all came down to that week due to a possibly tight race between several players concurrently playing in several tournaments, especially Kobe and Montevideo. It took a while for the ATP to eventually finalize the finalists, and they officially announced the last 3 qualifiers earlier this Monday (November 20) despite the field looking set by the end of the second round of Kobe. They will be drawn into two groups on November 25, 2023, playing in the best-of-five mini-sets (first to 4 games).
Hereby introducing the NextGen Finalists:
1. Arthur Fils

Starting this year one line below the Top 250, Fils’ meteoric rise commenced in Oeiras 2 Challenger, the start of his season, where he won the title against the previous week’s winner, Joris de Loore, 6-1, 7-6(4) through his predominantly working first serves and notably fiery passes, which often carried him until today. He continued the streak by being the Quimper Challenger runner-up to Gregoire Barrere 1-6, 4-6, which earned him the wild card to the Montpellier (250), where he became an eventual semifinalist to Jannik Sinner, as well as being a semifinalist of Marseille (250) to Benjamin Bonzi.
Since then, his potential flourished despite the rollercoaster clay season, with winning Lyon (250) as the pinnacle of his season (d. Francisco Cerundolo 6-3, 7-5), followed by a semifinal appearance in Hamburg (500) several weeks later, closing the season with a runner-up finish in Antwerp (250, l. Alexander Bublik). As a reward for his remarkable season, not only did he become the first qualifier for the NextGen Finals, but he also achieved a career-high ranking of 36 by the end of October.
2. Luca van Assche

After breaking through the Top 150 by the end of 2022, van Assche had a relatively slow start to the year until he became the runner-up of the Pau Challenger at the beginning of March, where he got defeated by a resurgent Ugo Humbert in a high-quality match that lasted almost 4 hours 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(6) in the finals. The form did not stop until he cracked the Top 100 for the first time upon advancing to the semifinals of the Sanremo Challenger but further confirmed it once he straightforwardly defeated Juan Pablo Varillas 6-1, 6-3 for the title.
After a different set of rollercoasters in the clay season, including a notable defeat to Andy Murray in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger, van Assche continued his season beyond Challengers, as he made it to the second round of Eastbourne (250) as a qualifier, got eliminated against J.J. Wolf 2-6, 7-6(5), 1-6. During the indoor season, he made more noise again in the Orleans Challenger, where he lost against the eventual runner-up Jack Draper 5-7, 3-6 in the semifinals. He then sealed his season with a quarterfinal loss against a comeback Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, ranking 66th by the time of this writing right before the NextGen Finals.
3. Dominic Stricker

Despite his great potential being discovered last year (thus his NextGen Finals debut then), Stricker had to overcome several injuries and moments before he got to where he is today. Started the year straight to the Australian Open qualifying rounds, where he lost to Enzo Couacaud 7-6(2), 7-6(7) in one of the earliest Top 100 matches (when he was 18-19 lines away), he went on to win his second career Challenger title in Rovereto back in February (d. Giulio Zeppieri 7-6(8), 6-2), having won won his maiden Challenger title in Bergamo last year, followed by a home semifinal run in Lugano (l. Otto Virtanen). He then added Prague 1 Challenger to the list of the Challenger titles he won this year (d. Sebastian Ofner 7-6(7), 6-3), subsequently becoming a lucky loser in Roland Garros upon his third qualifying round loss against Thiago Agustin Tirante, which further asked the question on his ability to qualify for the Grand Slams due to the pressure moments he succumbed to during.
However, Stricker started steadily announcing himself on the bigger stage starting the grass season, steadily striking the ball more effectively and visibly improving during the pressure points/moments. Appeared competitive in the quarterfinals match of the Ilkley Challenger against Andy Murray despite the 6-7(5), 5-7 loss, and found himself qualified for Wimbledon after enduring a 4-set match against Mattia Bellucci in the third qualifying round. He then qualified for the US Open despite the subpar mini-clay season and build-up and asserted his revenge against Tirante (to whom he lost the final qualifying round in Roland Garros), successfully advancing to the fourth round in a competitive loss against Taylor Fritz after winning his third-round match against Benjamin Bonzi. Eventually, despite the end-of-season rollercoaster, his quarterfinal run in Basel (500) (l. Ugo Humbert) confirmed his Top 100 finish attained back in the US Open but unfortunately had to retire (for likely precautionary measures) in Ismaning Challenger at 7-6(2), 1-4 against Rudolf Molleker in hopes to be ready for his second NextGen Finals appearance.
4. Flavio Cobolli

Trying to live up to his discovered potential last year thanks to his aggressive play (and often going deep on important occasions), Cobolli started his season with a second-round run in Pune (250), where he lost against Botic van de Zandschulp 5-7, 4-6. He then started to sparkle in Munich (250), where he ended up as a quarterfinalist (l. Christopher O’Connell), followed by a semifinal showing in Rome (Italy) Challenger (l. Jesper de Jong) and Milan Challenger (l. Facundo Diaz Acosta). In a similar timeframe (clay season, its extension, and Challenger’s own clay season), he also qualified for the Roland Garros, where he ended up being defeated by Carlos Alcaraz 0-6, 2-6, 5-7 in the first round. Fast-forward to the end of July, in almost the same tournament he finally got himself known in Umag (250), he became a quarterfinalist after the loss against Matteo Arnaldi in an all-Italian-NextGen showing.
He then continued his stellar showing in the clay Challengers, where he reached the semifinals in Tulln (l. Sumit Nagal) and won the title in a close encounter in Lisbon (d. Benjamin Hassan 7-5, 7-5), citing Cristiano Ronaldo as his title run inspiration during the post-finals press conference. Furthermore, outside of the clay-court Challengers, he still managed to maintain the streak in the Olbia Challenger, where he was out-paced by Titouan Droguet during the finals, hence his runner-up finish after a 3-6, 4-6 loss. After two early exits in Bergamo and Helsinki Challengers, both of which were indoor hard tournaments, Cobolli had a semifinal showing in Danderyd by defeating Gilles Arnaud Bailly in the first round 6-4, 6-1, advanced to the quarterfinals at the cost of Gauthier Onclin’s withdrawal before winning against Radu Albot 6-4, 7-6(5) in a close encounter that confirmed his NextGen Finals qualification, but was overwhelmed when dealing with eventual champion Maximilian Marterer’s serve+1s in the semifinal.
5. Alex Michelsen

Starting the year precisely at World No. 600, A. Michelsen’s rise started in the Rome, Georgia (USA) Challenger in February, where he became the runner-up to Jordan Thompson 4-6, 2-6 right after becoming the runner-up of the ITF M25 Malibu (Jan 2) and winning the ITF M15 Edmond, Oklahoma (Jan 23), followed by a semifinal showing in Waco Challenger a week after Rome, GA, which earned him the wild card to the Indian Wells M1000 qualifying (l. Leandro Riedi in Q1). After another solid showing in the ITFs (including a runner-up in M25 Calabasas-Mar 20), A. Michelsen started to get out of his comfort zone and tried the Nottingham Challenger in the grass courts of the United Kingdom (l. Gabriel Diallo in R2 6-3, 5-7, 2-6 as a qualifier) and had a competitive appearance in Mallorca (250) as a qualifier (l. Christopher Eubanks in R1 3-6, 7-6(5), 5-7) before winning his maiden Challenger title in Chicago (d. Yuta Shimizu 7-5, 6-2), further strengthening his explosive and intuitive play as the year progressed.
A week after his Chicago Challenger title, he became a runner-up in the grass courts of Newport (250), where Adrian Mannarino eventually won 6-2, 6-4 and after notably defeating Maxime Cressy, James Duckworth, Mackenzie McDonald, and John Isner from the first round until the semifinals. However, the next few tournaments became tricky with the Top 100 in sight, including a semifinal loss against eventual champion Zachary Svajda in the Cary 2 Challenger. He then got his rewards to finally enter the Top 100 for the first time after winning the Knoxville Challenger title, when he survived four three-setters in five rounds, defeating Denis Kudla 7-5, 4-6, 6-2 as the pinnacle, solidified his position by defeating Bernard Tomic 6-4, 6-0 in the Champaign Challenger’s first round in a rematch of their last week’s close encounter in Knoxville. Ultimately, A. Michelsen became the runner-up of the Champaign Challenger to Patrick Kypson, where he confirmed his NextGen Finals participation, as well as his Australian Open 2024 main draw direct entry likelihood thanks to his Top 100 year-end finish, landing at 94 live.
6. Hamad Medjedovic

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hamad Medjedovic's point to 6-5* 15-30 in the second set of the Bengaluru Challenger semifinal against Max Purcell (top left, 📸 ATP Challenger Livestream), to create the break point to *0-1 40-ad in the second qualifying round of Roland Garros against Juan Manuel Cerundolo (top right, 📸 France TV Sport), and to 6-5* 15-0 in the third set of the Danderyd Challenger second round against Jakub Mensik (bottom, 📸 ATP Challenger)
Medjedovic came a long way after his rise last year, winning the Luedenscheid Challenger 2022 by double-breadsticking Zhizhen Zhang, steadily answering the doubt on whether or not he’s breaking even, even if he has Novak Djokovic’s support. After having a slow start to the season (and an even slower second semester of 2022), he started having deep runs in the Bengaluru Challenger, where he was eliminated in the semifinal against eventual champion Max Purcell 2-6, 7-5, 6-7(4). However, he then started his stellar Challenger clay season with a title in Szekesfehervar Challenger (d. Nino Serdarusic 6-4, 6-3), followed by another title in Mauthausen (d. Filip Misolic 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-4) in a rain-ridden dramatic match. To top it off, he qualified for the Roland Garros and Wimbledon but got eliminated against Marcos Giron and Christopher O’Connell in the first round, respectively.
Trying to rise the ranks to the main Tour, he followed those up by having several great runs in the 250s and the Challengers in the second half of 2023, carried by his powerful serve and forehands when they are on (and occasionally, drop shots and volleys to add to his intuitive play). He started with a semifinal run in Gstaad as a qualifier (l. Pedro Cachin 3-6, 1-6, with a notable win against Dominic Thiem in the second round in a rematch of their Mauthausen Challenger semifinal encounter, as well as winning the Mallorca Challenger (d. Harold Mayot 6-2, 4-6, 6-2). He topped those runs off with a semifinal run in Astana (250) (l. Sebastian Korda, with some notable wins against Alexander Shevchenko and Jiri Lehecka in the second round and quarterfinals, respectively) despite the early exits in the last 3 250-level tournaments (Antwerp (250) R1, Basel (500) Q1, and Sofia (250) R1). Subsequently, after defeating Stefano Travaglia 6-4, 6-3 in a chaotic first-round match, he was defeated by fellow up-and-coming NextGen player Jakub Mensik 4-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(8) in the second round, having his 3 match points saved, 2 of them in the second set and one when he should have served for the match. Recognizing his tremendous potential through his aggressive gameplay and often reliable serves, while his usual rollercoaster could be expected, it all depended on his intuition in handling the point construction within the longer rallies if he could not keep it short.
7. Luca Nardi

Another name with potential being further discovered since last year is Luca Nardi, who answered the doubts coming from his sloppy start of the year by making strides toward the end of the year, thus rewarded with NextGen Finals qualification. He exited in early rounds in the first one-two months of the calendar before reaching the finals of the Pune Challenger, where he became the runner-up to a red-hot Max Purcell 3-6, 2-6. The rollercoaster then continued to the clay season, where he was remembered for being double-bageled by Lorenzo Musetti during the second round as a qualifier during the Monte Carlo M1000, as well as advancing to at least the quarterfinals in several Challengers, notably in Vicenza (l. Pablo Llamas Ruiz) and Milan (l. Matteo Gigante).
Realizing the whole rollercoaster, L. Nardi’s more offensive approach to complement his defenses and return depth started to pay off in Porto Challenger back in August, where he pulled a comeback win against Joao Sousa 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 as a sweet birthday present he gifted himself. Since then, his trajectory has gone back on track by being the semifinalist of the Bratislava 2 Challenger (l. Joris de Loore) and finally took the title in the Matsuyama Challenger in another comeback fashion (d. Taro Daniel 3-6, 6-4, 6-2), securing his NextGen Finals place after his second-round victory in the Kobe Challenger just to start the week (d. August Holmgren 6-3, 3-6, 7-5) before falling to Sho Shimabukuro to the semifinals, showing that his decision to partake in the Japanese Challenger swing paid off for his almost last-minute qualification.

Hailing from Jordan and training in Rafa Nadal Academy under Princess Lara Faisal’s Rise for Good Foundation, Shelbayh exceptionally started the season as a runner-up of the ITF M25 Manacor against Daniel Rincon (Jan 23) in a marathon match to start his positive semester after his remarkable rise kicked off in the second semester of 2022, from winning ITF M25 Monastir on two occasions (Jul 18 & Aug 22, 2022) before closing that year by winning ITF M15 Trnava (Dec 5) against Daniel Rincon, several months after securing his Challenger debut with a semifinal appearance (l. Zizou Bergs, but notably d. 1st seed Dominic Stricker in the first round). The only way was up, which he proved throughout the 2023 season by reaching the second round in Tenerife 3 Challenger as a qualifier (l. Ryan Peniston), ultimately becoming the runner-up in his maiden Challenger final in Manama (l. Thanasi Kokkinakis). He backed this up with his maiden ATP Tour main draw appearance in Doha as a wild card despite the first-round loss against Soonwoo Kwon.
He kept gaining experience as the year passed by from the aforementioned raw potential, making a last-minute decision to partake in the Banja Luka qualification rounds, stunning then-have not broken out (yet) Fabian Marozsan and Lukas Klein in both qualifying rounds before defeating Elias Ymer 6-1, 7-5 in the first round to record his maiden Tour-level victory (as well as becoming the first Jordanian to win a main Tour match) but was eliminated in the hands of Miomir Kecmanovic. He also qualified for the Mallorca (250) event on grass (l. Roman Safiullin in the first round) and went on to win his maiden Challenger title in Charleston (d. Oliver Crawford 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3), also becoming the first Jordanian Challenger-level champion. His sparkling rise continued through Metz (250) as a qualifier (d. Dan Added & Gijs Brouwer in the qualifying rounds), shocking Hugo Gaston 7-6(5), 6-2 before Lorenzo Sonego defeated him 3-6, 5-7 despite his competitive efforts. Aided by his often impressive point construction (as displayed), when he is on, not only rewarded him his career-high ranking of 187 (attained Nov 20, 2023) but also a wild card to this year’s NextGen Finals as the regional (Middle Eastern) representative.

中法台維斯盃》中華隊兩點單打出師不利 明雙打全力搶勝拚延長戰線
2024中法台維斯盃世界組總決賽資格戰(2024 Davis Cup Qualifiers - TPE vs FRA)今(3)日於臺北市網球中心正式展開,中華隊由許育修和吳東霖出戰前兩點單打。兩人面對法國兩大世界前百的高手皆以些微差距落敗,使得目前中華隊在5點3勝制的賽制當中,處於點數0比2的絕對劣勢。在無路可退的情況下,明日第三點雙打須全力搶勝,力拚延長戰線。
Tumblr media
第一點賽前舉行開幕典禮
被譽為「網球界的世界盃」台維斯盃國際男子網球團體錦標賽,每年吸引世界頂尖的男子好手披上國家隊戰袍,為國爭取榮譽。中華代表隊首度晉升世界組總決賽資格戰,包含行政院院長陳建仁、行政院發言人林子倫、教育部常務次長林騰蛟、體育署署長鄭世忠、法國在台協會主任龍燁(Franck Paris)、中華奧林匹克委員會副主席廖裕輝、中華民國網球協會理事長劉啟帆以及中華民國網球協會副理事長暨中華隊總領隊龔元高等貴賓皆親臨開幕典禮現場。而行政院院長陳建仁受邀擔任第一點單打賽前擲幣嘉賓,為精彩賽事揭開序幕。

中華隊由單打世界排名230位的許育修打頭陣,迎戰世界排名68名的法國19歲年輕好手Luca Van Assche。許育修開賽第一個發球局雖遭破發,但很快把握對手雙發失誤過多扳平戰局。不過首盤中段,許育修於局數3-3再次被破發球局,加上自身非受迫性失誤增加,導致第一盤先以4-6讓出。
Tumblr media
第一點率先登場的許育修與對手Luca Van Assche互有領先,可惜最終兩盤惜敗
次盤許育修重振旗鼓,首局回放一記精彩的小球保發成功後,更激起滿場球迷的熱情歡呼聲。而後雙方後續互有攻勢,但在關鍵第九局,許育修遭Van Assche連拿四分破發,最終便以兩盤4-6敗北,無緣為中華隊開胡。
賽後兩位球員都給予對方高度肯定,許育修談到排名更為出色的Van Assche時表示,由於對手擅於多拍來回,因此本場比賽的戰術是要更加主動,「我已經盡力發揮了,可是我覺得還可以更好。」Van Assche則先稱讚許育修是位可敬的對手,也很慶幸自己能克服開賽不順,並為法國贏下第一點單打、同時也是個人台維斯盃首勝。

本次台維斯盃湧進三千位球迷進場觀賽,同時亦有熱情觀眾自製加油看板,並引進棒球場上常見的敲鑼打鼓式應援。許育修直言,睽違兩年再於家鄉出賽,而且大部分球迷都是支持中華隊,讓他很享受這個氛圍;而Van Assche也認為這是難得一見的加油方式,個人覺得相當有趣。

擔綱第二點重任的吳東霖,力抗本次兩軍排名最高、目前世界排名第17位的法國好手Adrian Mannarino。雙方開賽先是互破發球局,然而Mannarino延續一月澳網勇闖16強的絕佳狀態,先以6-3搶下首盤。
Tumblr media

丟掉首盤的吳東霖在第二盤強勢保發後,連下三局擴大領先優勢。不過Mannarino自局數1-4落後時急起直追,硬是將戰線延長。吳東霖在5-5的關鍵發球局遭破發後,一度於下一局擁有回破機會,Mannarino頂住該局0-30落後的壓力,於最後四分狂轟三記ACE球。最終吳東霖便以盤數3-6、5-7再失第二點。
Tumblr media
吳東霖面對強敵毫無懼色,賽後也獲對手盛讚發球出色
即便最終是以直落二盤數勝出,但Mannarino賽後展現風度,盛讚吳東霖的發球對他帶來不小威脅,不過也很高興把握對手後段不穩定的弱點,找到突破機會、進而逆轉贏球。同時,法國總教練Paul-Henri Mathieu也提到,中華隊雖然看似排名有段差距,但這種「挑戰者」的心態是他們所需提防的部分,因此明日也會全力爭取第三點勝利。
Tumblr media
世界排名第17的法國名將Adrian Mannarino直落兩盤獲勝,為法國取得點數2比0絕對領先
在失去前兩點單打後,中華隊總教練張孝雍賽後直言,第一點許育修的比賽輸得可惜,而第二點吳東霖有激發出個人潛力,可惜未能貫徹執行原定的戰術;吳東霖也坦承,當自己掌握抽球節奏後,反而未能延續原有的發球優勢,加上接發球部分也沒突破對手,導致無法將戰線延長至決勝盤,甚至進而逆轉贏球。
本次中法台維斯盃資格賽攸關進軍世界組最終16強資格,明日率先登場的第三點雙打賽事,由「亞運金牌組合」莊吉生和許育修合拍出擊,力抗具有大滿貫冠軍資歷的Nicolas Mahut、Edouard Roger-Vasselin。此外,中華隊總教練張孝雍也透露,綜合評估選手狀況後,暫定將第四點的出賽人選改為「夜市球王」曾俊欣,讓他同樣有在滿場地主球迷面前獻技的機會。
Tumblr media
中華隊總教練張孝雍肯定選手表現,明日雙打將全力搶勝
週日賽程為下午1點開賽,預計上午11點20分開放觀眾進場。此外,為回饋本次親臨現場的球迷,主辦單位將於賽後舉辦中華隊球員簽名會。上午十點將於大會服務處發放號碼牌,總計開放700位名額。其中,購買「兩日應援套票」的500名球迷皆有資格,另開放一般民眾200位。而由於場館附設停車場的車位有限,敬請球迷朋友多加利用大眾運輸前往觀賽,為中華健兒加油打氣、一同攜手捍衛主場。若球迷朋友無法到場觀戰,賽事也提供轉播服務,敬請鎖定「博斯運動一台」獨家直播,參與這場網球饗宴。

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)
Meanwhile, in Aix-en-Provence…
Another edition of Andy Murray facing a French player began, this time against a rising Luca van Assche (who notably won 2 Challenger titles on clay and took a set out of Novak Djokovic in Banja Luka). While this could be dubbed as another generational battle, van Assche’s dynamic gameplay could potentially bother Andy when he was on.
However, the first set was a different case here. Andy came up with a lob to double the point lead before he held his service game 2-1, while he also survived whenever van Assche had break points since the start. Several games later, Andy then had a break point at the expense of van Assche’s double fault, which was converted at the expense of the French’s forehand error to break 4-2 in the first set.
After consolidating his lead to 5-2, Andy ended up breaking for the set point to 6-2. Once again, it started with van Assche’s double fault before it was converted at the expense of van Assche’s forehand error. Those rushes were not it under pressure, while Andy tried to keep his pace stable during the rallies. This could be something else in the second set, though… (to be continued).
