Jack Draper takes on Tseng Chung-hsin in the NextGen Finals. This is a match in the Red Group and both players need a win if they want to progress to the semi-finals. Draper is the third seed but only has Lorenzo Musetti  (also in this group) ahead of him in the seedings after the top seed Holger Rune withdrew. The British player is ranked 41st in the world which is a career high and 220 places higher than he was this time last year. His form has been solid throughout the year, though he hasn't reached a quarter final since August. His first match in this group saw him lose to Dominic Stricker in straight sets. Matches are played over the best of five sets but only four games are needed to win a set.  It was a tight match with Stricker and each set was lost on a tie-break that came into force at 3-3.

Tseng Chung-hsin is the sixth seed and ranked 90th in the world. That's compared to 249th this time last year. Unlike his opponent, he's played most of his tennis this year on the Challenger Tour. He's won two tournaments on that surface but both came on clay and this event is being played on a hard court. He also lost his first match, being beaten in straight sets by Lorenzo Musetti. He lost each of those sets by a 4-2 scoreline so it wasn't as narrow a loss as that suffered by Draper. Back the British player to get the win in straight sets.
