Nicolai Budkov Kjaer of Norway will duke it out with Rafael Jodar of Spain on Day 2 of the 2025 Next Gen Finals on Thursday.
Kjaer is a +100 underdog in this match against Jodar, who pulled off a massive upset over the No.1 seed Learner Tien on Day 1.
Current Form:
Kjaer dazzled in his first match of this tournament, topping the favorite Martin Landaluce 4-1, 3-4, 4-2, 4-3. The Norwegian controlled the flow by playing aggressively, going for winners on every chance he had, and forcing miscues along the way. Kjaer posted 38 points behind the first ball and converted five breakpoint chances to secure the four-set victory.
Jodar came through with the biggest win on Day 1 following his five-set victory over the No.1 seed and betting favorite, Learner Tien of the United States, 1-4, 4-3, 1-4, 4-2, 4-3.

Our Nicolai Budkov Kjaer vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jodar has really impressed in his win over Tien, and I expect him to continue his hot run against Kjaer. For starters, Jodar has won his last six matches and 15 of his previous 17 matches. He’s one of the hottest young stars on the ITF circuit this year, and he has just beaten Learner Tien, the fast-rising star from the United States. Kjaer is no pushover. He will provide Jodar a stiff challenge in this particular match. However, Jodar’s poise and incredible shot-making will get him out of any problematic situations.
Our betting prediction for Rafael Jodar vs. Nicolai Budkov Kjaer: Rafael Jodar will win.
