ORLANDO, November 18, 2024 (USTA Press Release)

Nishesh Basavareddy’s fifth ATP Challenger Tour final of the 2024 season this past week in Champaign, Ill., proved to be enough to catapult the 19-year-old to the top of the final men’s Challenge standings.

Basavareddy fell to fellow American Ethan Quinn in the final of the USTA Pro Circuit Challenger 75 event, which moved him past Chris Eubanks and Nicolas Moreno de Alboran. Quinn finished fourth.

Basavareddy will likely be joined by fellow American teenager Iva Jovic in the main draw in Melbourne next year.
