Alexander Blockx, Dino Prizmic, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and Rafael Jodar, who all competed in last month’s Next Generation ATP Finals hosted by the PIF, qualified for the Australian Open main draw by one win on Wednesday.
Blockx won the ATP Challenger Championship in Canberra last week and has yet to drop a set in qualifying. The 20-year-old Belgian beat Alex Morkan 6-1, 6-1 to move closer to competing in a Grand Slam main draw for the first time.
Croatia’s Prizmic defeated Novak Djokovic in the 2024 AO main draw, defeating Gustavo Heide 7-5, 6-2, while Norway’s Budkov Kjaer defeated Australia’s James McCabe 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(6). Budkov Kjaer has never played in the main draw of a major championship.
Spain’s Jordal won three ATP Challenger titles in the second half of 2025, climbing from outside the top 900 of the PIF ATP Rankings to a career-high No. 150. The 19-year-old defeated Luxembourg’s Chris Rodesch 7-6(10), 6-3.
Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who won the 2019 Australian Open doubles title with Nicolas Mahut, eliminated Gonzalo Bueno 7-5, 6-2. Coleman Wong reached the quarter-finals of the tournament in Hong Kong last week and maintained his good form with a 7-6(7), 6-0 victory over Pablo Llamas Ruiz.
Luca Van Assche defeated Daniil Glinka 6-3, 6-0, while Dusan Lajovic beat Murphy Cassone 7-5, 6-3. The 35-year-old Serbian Lajovic reached the fourth round in 2021.
