Joao Fonseca of Brazil faces Learner Tien of the United States with the winner clinching a spot in semifinal of the 2024 NextGen Finals on Thursday in King Abdullah, Sports Complex. Fonseca pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of this Under-20 tournament as he defeated world No.20 Arthur Fils 3–4(9–11), 4–2, 4–1, 1–4, 4–1. The prodigy from Brazil overcame Fils’ aggressive game by breaking four times and winning 73 percent of his first serves. It marked Fonseca’s 12th career win over a top-20 player on the ATP Tour.

Tien survived Mensik’s 24 aces by winning the points that counted the most in the match. Tien earned his first ever win over a top-50 player on the ATP Tour.
