Student Ten won the Next generation ATP finals today in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Alexander Blockx of Belgium defeated 4-3(4), 4-2, 4-1 in less than an hour of play. Blockx did not miss a first serve in the opening set, but Tien made 82% of his first serves and was the more stable player in the tiebreak.
Tien had won the first set in the Next Gen final against Brazil’s Joao Fonseca last year before Fonseca took the next three, but to guard against that this time Tien made just six unforced errors in the next two sets and won on the way out.
The former USC standout takes home his largest pro check, $502,250.00, and avenges his loss to Blockx in the 2023 Australian Open boys final.
Tien joins fellow Southern Californian Brandon Nakashima (Virginia) as U.S. champions of the event. Nakashima won the title in 2022 in Milan.

There is very little tennis being played right now, but the World Tennis League was played in India this week, with Wake Forest senior DK Suresh showing his game is ready for the pros. The 25-year-old from India made headlines when he previously defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-4. Today he defeated Sumit Nagal from India 7-6(4) (all matches were one set) to give the title to his team, the Aussie Mavericks Kites.
