Dino Prizmic and Alexander Blockx are all set to face off in the third round of group-stage matches at the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals. The tournament, held at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, features the best young tennis players aged 20 or under from around the world.
Dino Prizmic, hailing from Croatia, is currently ranked World No. 128 in the ATP Tour’s singles rankings. With a career-high ranking of 115, Prizmic has shown promise on the court. He made a memorable appearance at last year’s Australian Open, where he impressed by qualifying for the main draw and challenging Novak Djokovic in the first round. In 2025, Prizmic clinched back-to-back ATP Challenger Tour titles in Zagreb and Bratislava, adding to his previous title in Banja Luka Challenger.
On the other hand, Alexander Blockx from Belgium is currently ranked World No. 116, with a career-high ranking of 101. Like Prizmic, Blockx has also claimed three ATP Challenger Tour titles in Kobe (2024), Oeiras, and Slovak Open (2025). The two players are part of the Red Group at the Next Gen ATP Finals, along with Nishesh Basavareddy from the USA and Justin Engel from Germany.
Prizmic and Blockx have not faced each other before, making their upcoming match an intriguing affair. Prizmic has played two group-stage matches at the tournament, losing to Basavareddy in his first outing but bouncing back with a win against Engel. Blockx, on the other hand, won his opening match against Engel and is currently playing against Basavareddy in his second group-stage match.
In terms of playing style, Prizmic is known for his defensive work and backhand from the baseline, while Blockx is an aggressive all-court player with a strong serve and forehand. The match is expected to be closely contested, with Prizmic having a slight edge in experience on the main ATP Tour.
The odds for the match are yet to be updated, but Prizmic is predicted to win in four sets. Betting tips suggest that the match will feature over 20 games and that Blockx will hit more than 5 aces. Tennis fans can catch the action live on various channels, including the Tennis Channel in the USA, Sky Sports in the UK, and TSN in Canada.
