Eighth seed Joao Fonseca has already won this group in the Next Gen Finals. His final round-robin group match sees him face the third seed Jakub Mensik who is bottom of the group after the first two matches. Read our match prediction below.

Fonseca is 145th in the rankings and that's a career-high for the Brazilian. He's won both of his matches so far in this indoor hard court tournament. His first match saw him beat the top seed Arthur Fils in five sets.

That was followed up with a four set win over Learner TIen. The Brazilian won the first two sets without dropping a single game. That was eight games in a row as only four games are needed to win a set in this tournament.

Jakub Mensik is bottom of the group after losing both of his first two matches. His opening match saw him beaten in four sets by Learner Tien, the first two both lost via a tie-break. Thursday saw the world number 48 take on top seed Arthur Fils and he lost in straight sets. Mensik made 31 unforced errors in the match against Fils. That made it 75 in his two matches this week. We tip Joao Fonseca to win on a +2.5 games handicap.
