The Blue Group of the 2025 indoor hard court Next Gen Finals gets underway on Wednesday. Fifth seed Martin Landaluce has a tough opening match against sixth-seeded Nicolai Budkov Kjaer. Time for our match prediction.
Also in this group are top seed Learner Tien and seventh-seeded Rafael Jodar. The top two in the group will make their way into the semi-finals of this tournament for the top players aged 20 or under.
This match is being played over five sets but players only need to win four games to take it with a tie-break at 3-3 if required. Martin Landaluce isn't 20 until next month and has won one hard court Challenger Tour title this year.
The world number 134 has been consistent with four other semi-finals reached and three last eight appearances..
19-year-old Nicolai Budkov Kjaer is only two places below Landaluce in the latest rankings. Four Challenger titles have been won by him this year but he's lost his last four matches. A win here would be his first victory over Landaluce. All three previous meetings have been won by the American.
They were all played this year with the most recent in September.
