Joao Fonseca of Brazil faces Learner Tien of the United States with the winner clinching a spot in semifinal of the 2024 NextGen Finals on Thursday in King Abdullah, Sports Complex. Fonseca pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of this Under-20 tournament as he defeated world No.20 Arthur Fils 3–4(9–11), 4–2, 4–1, 1–4, 4–1. The prodigy from Brazil overcame Fils’ aggressive game by breaking four times and winning 73 percent of his first serves. It marked Fonseca’s 12th career win over a top-20 player on the ATP Tour. Learner Tien gave Jakub Mensik a lesson he will never forget after the up-and-coming American delivered a 4–3(8–6), 4–3(7–3), 2–4, 2–4, 4–3(10–8) upset over the Czech. Tien survived Mensik’s 24 aces by winning the points that counted the most in the match. Tien earned his first ever win over a top-50 player on the ATP Tour.

Our Learner Tien vs Joao Fonseca Prediction

My money is on Fonseca.. The Brazilian has one of the meanest counter-punching styles on the tour and it’s just a matter of time until everybody knows how truly special this Brazilian kid is. Fonseca is 8-5 in career indoor matches while Tien has an impressive 18-6 slate in this kind of playing environment. However, after witnessing Fonseca’s masterful play against Fils on Day 1, I am convinced that he will be the first one to earn a semis spot in this tourney. Our betting prediction for Joao Fonseca vs. Learner Tien: Fonseca will win.

Prediction:

 

Joao Fonseca will win
