The tennis stars of tomorrow will fly to the Middle East for the final men’s event in the 2024 ATP Tour calendar. Previously won by the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, who will become the new Next Generation ATP Finals champion and cement his status as a rising tennis superstar? Here are our Next Generation ATP Finals 2024 predictions and betting tips.
The tournament will take place from December 18 to December 22, 2024, at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. The coastal Saudi Arabian city, known as the Bride of the Red Sea, will host the competition for the second successive year. Arthur Fils will headline the event alongside seven other top players aged 20 or below.
| ℹ️ Tournament: | 2024 Next Generation ATP Finals, Invitational Event for Top-8 under-21 players |
| 🏟️ Venue: | King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (indoor hard court) |
| 🗓️ Dates: | Wednesday, December 18, 2024 to Sunday, December 22, 2024 |
The ATP Next Gen Finals traditionally take place on indoor courts, and this year is no exception. Players can expect a hard, medium-paced surface at King Abdullah Sports City. So, it will be great for strong serve players like Artur Fils and Jakub Mensik. Fils has already shown that he can thrive on this surface, as he made it to the final last year but lost to Hamad Medjedovic. So, he will be a strong contender in our 2024 ATP Youth Finals predictions as well.
Fils and Medjedovic treated spectators to a thrilling final last year. The Serbian displayed remarkable resilience to bounce back after squandering two match points in the fourth set to ultimately prevail with a 3-4 (6-8), 4-1, 4-2, 3-4 (9-11), 4-1 victory. There have been six unique champions in the six different editions of the tournament so far.
The men’s tennis 2024 odds are out ahead of the ATP Finals Next Gen opener. So, let’s find out what the sportsbooks are currently thinking about the title race in Jeddah.
Fils will have a go at the ATP Finals Next Gen title once again, and 2024 ATP Finals Next Gen odds suggest that the Frenchman is the runaway favorite to get his hands on the trophy this time. Mensik, who has recently been named the 2024 ATP Newcomer of the Year, is the second favorite with odds of 4.50 (7/2).
Michelsen is the second seed, but the pre-tournament odds place him third. ATP Chengdu champion Shang rounds off the top four. Fonseca, van Assche, Tien, and Basavareddy are the outliers, according to legal bookies in Saudi Arabia.

Fils arrives in Jeddah as the clear favorite, and he also gets the nod in our 2024 tennis Next Gen ATP Finals betting tips discussion. Ranked world number 20, the Frenchman has enjoyed a standout season with consistent performances across all surfaces.
His most recent triumph came in Tokyo, where he defeated Ugo Humbert in the final. Earlier, Fils also captured the Hamburg title, stunning Alexander Zverev in the decider. Sportsbooks, therefore, have assigned the shortest 2024 ATP Finals Next Gen odds to Fils.
He had an impressive Next Gen ATP Finals run last year as well. Fils went undefeated in the Green Group and picked up a semifinal victory over van Assche. But, he faltered in a tense final, losing to Hamad Medjedovic in all five-set battle. His form remains strong despite a recent quarter-final loss to Zverev in Paris, where he pushed the German to three tightly contested sets.

Shang will look to return to winning ways after two back-to-back defeats that knocked him out of ATP Belgrade and ATP Masters 1000 Paris. However, in our ATP Next Gen Finals 2024 betting picks, we tip the Chinese star to cruise to an easy win against Luca van Assche and wrap things up under 3.5 rounds.
Luca sits 128th in the ATP rankings right now, which puts him 78 places behind Shang. They have never faced each other, but the Frenchman will not be in high spirits after four consecutive defeats. So, we are convinced that this is a great market to bet on 2024 men’s next-generation tennis.

We’ve selected the Michelsen vs Basavareddy matchup as one of our featured ATP Next Gen Finals 2024 betting picks. Michelsen is one of the three returning players in Jeddah and has been in decent form lately, having made the Moselle Open semi-finals.
Michelsen, however, lost all three matches he played at King Abdullah Sports City last year. He did not enjoy playing on the court, and Basavareddy, who has been enjoying a breakout season, might add to his Jeddah woes.
We will reiterate our faith in Arthur Fils and Juncheng Shang to finalize the best picks in our Next Generation ATP Finals 2024 predictions. Back these two to have a strong end to the season and reap the rewards on your betting slip!
