Next Generation, also known as the Next Gen ATP Finals, is an annual year-end men’s youth exhibition tennis tournament for the season’s best 21-and-under players. Since its inception, the event has been held in Milan, Italy. From 2017 to 2021, the Tournament’s first four editions were held in Milan, Italy. A unique circumstance occurred during the first year. Alexander Zverev, 20, had such a successful season that he was qualified for both the Next Generation ATP Finals and the ATP Finals of the top eight players from 2017.

The 2022 Next Generation ATP Finals is a men’s exhibition tennis tournament for the best singles players aged 21 and under on the 2022 ATP Tour. It will take place from November 8 to 12, 2022, at the Allianz Cloud Arena in Milan, Italy. The reigning champion, Carlos Alcaraz, withdrew from the event before it began.

Format

The top two players from each group advance to the semifinals, with eight players divided into two groups. However, the organisers have used this opportunity to experiment with the game’s existing rules and format. Instead of the traditional first-to-six games in a set, each set is first-to-four, with a tie-break at 3-3. Here is a look at the two groups for this season’s Next Gen ATP Finals.
