Tsitsipas in final

Top-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece will face Australian teenager Alex de Minaur in the championship match of the Next Gen Finals on Saturday at Milan. Both players had only dropped a set apiece in their first three matches at the tournament but each needed five sets to win their respective semifinals on Friday. The tournament is being played under a revised format that includes shorter sets to four games, best of five-set matches, no AD scoring, no lets and a shot clock. Tsitsipas, who is ranked No. 15 in the world, beat 2017 runner-up Andrey

Rublev 4-3 (3), 3-4 (5), 4-0, 2-4, 4-3 (2). Tsitsipas, 20, who had medical treatment on his left hand during the fourth set, had only dropped one of 30 service games in the tournament prior to the semifinal but was broken three times by Rublev. De Minaur saved all five break points he faced in his victory over Jaume

3-4 (5), 4-1, 4-1, 3-4 (4), 4-2.
