Learner Tien vs Alexander Blockx prediction
Learner Tien produced his best display of the tournament so far in the semi-finals as he breezed past Nishesh Basavareddy to make his second Next Gen final in succession. He is the second player, after Alex de Minaur, to make consecutive finals at the event. He won 4-2 4-1 4-3 (3) with his most controlled display of the week so far.
He goes up against Alexander Blockx next. The Belgian defeated Nikolai Budkov Kjaer in three sets to maintain his 100% record at the event this week. He thundered down 10 aces as he won 4-3 (4) 4-3 (8) 4-2 after one hour and 22 minutes.
The two finalists faced each other twice at junior level. Blockx defeated Tien in the final of the 2023 Australian Open juniors, with Tien winning their next meeting in the third-round of the French Open juniors later that year.
Tien has the big game experience and the greater pedigree, but Blockx has produced a really high level so far this week and will fancy his chances of victory. The American is the favourite, but it is likely to be close.
