Will Lorenzo Musetti join the move to Saudi Arabia?
As always, the ATP reacted quickly: The “Next Gen Race” on the official website has already become the “Race to Jeddah”. After the previous guest appearances in Milan, the champion among the U21 professionals on the ATP tour should be chosen there. The only question is who will then open in Saudi Arabia. Because that the two current leaders in the annual ranking will be at the start can almost be ruled out.
Because Carlos Alcaraz has already won the #NextGen Masters before. And will definitely concentrate on the finals in Turin. The same probably applies to Holger Rune, who has already collected more than 3,000 points in the current season. And with one or two decent results, he will get his ticket to Turin.
Will the WTA also go to Saudi Arabia?
Remains as current top player Lorenzo Musetti. But does he really want to fly to Saudi Arabia in November? Behind Musetti are Arthur Fils, Ben Shelton, luca van Assche and US youngster Alex Michelsen, who reached the final in Newport a few weeks ago.
The move of the offspring could also just be the foretaste of something bigger. Because the rumors are growing that the WTA also wants to hold its season finale in Saudi Arabia. And in the adult class. In contrast to the ATP, it always takes women a little longer before nails are made with heads.
