Alexander Blockx vs Dino Prizmic Preview
Alexander Blockx became the first player to qualify for the semifinals of the 2025 Next Gen ATP Finals with a victory over Nishesh Basavareddy in his second group match. Going into the match, Blockx knew only a straight-sets score would secure his semifinal berth before his last group match.
And the Belgian saved three set points in the second set tiebreak before prevailing 4-3, 4-3, 4-1 in an hour and 23 minutes. Blockx hit 11 aces and 2 double faults in the victory. He landed 60% of first serves in play and won 76% of first serve points (31/41). Blockx won 56% of second serve points (15/27) and saved nine of 10 break points.
Dino Prizmic picked up his first win at the Next Gen ATP Finals. The Croatian beat World No. 187 Justin Engel in four sets in an hour and 31 minutes. The two players exchanged the first two sets, but Prizmic dominated the third set tiebreak to re-take the lead in the match.
Prizmic was almost unplayable in the fourth set, where he broke serve once and saved a late break back point while serving for victory. Overall, Prizmic hit 6 aces and 2 double faults. He landed 65% of first serves in play and won 76% of first serve points (35/46). Prizmic won 60% of second serve points (15/25) and saved four of five break points in the match.
Alexander Blockx vs Dino Prizmic Head-To-Head
Blockx and Prizmic have faced off once on the Challenger Tour. Prizmic won a second-round match in straight sets at the Lugano Challenger this season.Alexander Blockx vs Dino Prizmic Prediction
Blockx is assured of a semifinal spot, so there is nothing to lose for him in this match. That said, the Belgian has leveled up since he last played Prizmic at the Lugano Challenger. Back then, Blockx’s form was underwhelming and this is a classic scenario of the same matchup but a different moment.
