Outright Winner Odds:-
Lorenzo Musetti – 33/20 – Home favourite Lorenzo Musetti will be looking to use home support to his advantage at the ATP Next Gen finals. Musetti hasn’t enjoyed the best run recently, but he has a superb game, with power from the back of the court and he could be firmly in contention in Milan.
Jack Draper – 24/10 – Emerging Brit Jack Draper has long been courted as the next big hope in UK tennis and his really starting to fulfil his potential. He is another player that perhaps won’t generate too much attention in Milan, giving him the platform to play with freedom.
Brandon Nakashima – 4/1 – Leading young American Brandon Nakashima is at the forefront of world tennis, and he could sneak under the radar here in Milan. He has a game capable of beating anybody on his day and he should relish the playing conditions in Milan.
Jiri Lehecka – 7/1 – Young Czech superstar Jiri Lehecka looks set for a huge career at the top of the game, having recently broken into the top 60 in the world. Competition here in Milan will be tough but he has a group he should progress from and it’s anybody’s game from there.
Dominic Stricker – 12/1 – Swiss tennis is looking for the next big thing in the year that Roger Federer stepped away from the game and they could have found it in Dominic Stricker. A good run in the Bergamo Challenger last week should give him a welcome confidence boost here too.
Tseng Chun-Hsin – 22/1 – Taiwanese tennis looks to be heading in the right direction and Tsung Chun-Hsin is yet another exciting talent within the game. This could be a tough ask in Milan, but he is sure to be all the better for the experience of playing on this big occasion in Lombardy.
