Learner Tien was one of the main protagonists of the recent ATP Next Gen Finals. With a somewhat unorthodox style, relying heavily on his left-handed spins and court opening ability, the American confirmed his tremendous evolution in 2024 by reaching the final and facing off against Joao Fonseca. However, the transition to the ATP circuit is extremely challenging for many… and in his first event of 2025, an old fox on the tour like Cameron Norrie showed him just that, eager to join the leading pack after a 2024 filled with injuries and ups and downs. The British player spoiled the party for the American in the highlight match of the day at the ATP Hong Kong 2025 (6-3, 7-5), positioning himself as a strong contender for the title in Asian lands.

Other day’s results (first round):

• Miomir Kecmanovic d. Luciano Darderi (8) 6-3, 6-3
• Fabian Marozsan d. Roman Safiullin 6-1, 7-6(9)
• Lorenzo Sonego d. Brandon Nakashima (6) 7-6(4), 6-3
