I’m expecting one of these other young guys to make the final of a slam this year and win some [Masters] 1000s. Winning those two titles in San Diego and also the Next Gen finals was super good for my game and confidence, to know that I’m able to compete against these top guys.” “I try to focus on myself, but anytime they have big results; I’m super happy for them. I think that’s something that over the time they will understand better. Previous generations promised to do it, only to fall short of the tour’s elder statesmen.

Korda beat Nishioka to reach the final and move into seeding territory, while the latter is poised to benefit from Alcaraz’s withdrawal to be the No.32 seed. The other big winner from Alcaraz’s withdrawal is Taylor Fritz, who becomes the No.8 seed and avoids a higher-ranked opponent until the last eight, while Adelaide semi-finalists Seb Korda and Yoshihito Nishioka are set to be seeded. The Serbian was also unable to contest the US Open, and earned no ranking points for his Wimbledon triumph after the ATP and WTA penalised the event for banning Russian and Belarusian players in response to their countries’ invasion of Ukraine. Alcaraz planned to start his Australian summer at next week’s Kooyong Classic after sitting out the ATP Finals and Davis Cup at the end of last year to recover from an abdominal injury he suffered at the Paris Masters. The 19-year-old Spaniard – who beat Lleyton Hewitt’s record as the youngest player to hold the top ranking – revealed on Saturday his injury setback, which he sustained from a “chance, unnatural movement” in a pre-season training session.
