Impressive! Joel Schwärzler qualifies for ATP Next Gen Finals
The young Vorarlberg native is the first Austrian to qualify for the tournament.
A special honour for ÖTV youngster Joel Schwärzler!
The 20-year-old Vorarlberg native has qualified for the ATP Next Gen Finals.
The tournament, featuring the top eight players aged 20 and under in Reggio Calabria, takes place from 9 to 13 December.
Ninth place is enough
Schwärzler benefits from rival Nicolai Budkov Kjaer's opening-round defeat at the tournament in Orléans. As a result, the ÖTV youngster, who currently sits in ninth place, can no longer be caught.
With Brazil's Joao Fonseca also withdrawing, ninth place is enough to secure a spot at the Finals.
The following players will feature at the ATP Next Gen Finals: Rafael Jodar (Spain), Martin Landaluce (Spain), Rei Sakamoto (Japan), Moise Kouame (France), Federico Cina (Italy), Darwin Blanch (USA), Jan Kumstat (Czech Republic), Joel Schwärzler (Austria).
