class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

Good news for Dominic Stricker (21). The Swiss tennis talent will certainly participate in the Next Gen Finals in Saudi Arabia from November 28 to December 2. Together with Arthur Fils (19), Luca Van Assche (19) and Flavio Cobolli (21), the world number 92 is part of a quartet that is now guaranteed to qualify.

For Stricker it is his second participation in the season-ending tournament for the U21 players on the ATP tour. Last year the Bernese reached the semi-finals.

And this year too, the opportunities for knitters are certainly intact. As number 92 in the ATP rankings, he is number 3 in terms of participants. The two Frenchmen Fils (36) and Van Assche (66) precede him. The Italian Cobolli (98) is close behind.

Receive big prize money

By participating in Jeddah, Stricker managed to raise a large part of the money. The total prize money for the tournament was increased to $2 million from $1.275 million last year.

Just by participating, he is guaranteed $150,000 in prize money. For each group stage win (three matches) there would be an additional $32,000. If you reach the semi-finals you will receive an additional $113,500 and winning the tournament will be garnished with an additional $153,000.

A maximum of $512,000 can be obtained. By comparison, Stricker has earned $631,144 for the entire season so far. In his entire career he has collected more than 1.1 million.

Prominent absentees

In addition to the quartet, a fifth participant has already been confirmed, Abdullah Shelbayh (19). The Jordanian number 187 in the world receives a wildcard.

There are also some prominent absentees: Carlos Alcaraz (20) and Holger Rune (20) also participated in the ATP Finals and will miss. Ben Shelton (21) and Lorenzo Musetti (21) are out injured. (SME)
