Learner Tien vs Nicolai Budkov Kjaer prediction
Learner Tien got his campaign in Jeddah back on track with a win over Martin Landaluce. The American was on the end of a surprise defeat to Rafael Jodar in his first group stage match, and lost the first set here, but he improved as the match wore on to win 1-4 4-1 4-3 (4) 4-3 (2). He has not been at his best so far and needs to win this match against Nicolai Budkov Kjaer to secure a spot in the next stage of the competition.
This won’t be an easy task as Budkov Kjaer has won his first two group stage matches. He made a strong start against Rafael Jodar and overcame a slight dip in the third set to win 4-1 4-2 1-4 4-2. His overall power and consistency from the baseline on this fast surface has been a key component of his success so far this week, and he will be raring to go against the top seed.
This could be a tough task for Tien, but he knows that he must produce his best display of the week so far if he is to keep his Next Gen Finals campaign alive.
