Nishesh Basavareddy has officially joined the Adidas family, sporting their shoes and apparel on the court. The young American has been making a name for himself on the Challenger circuit, reaching five finals in the latter half of the year and securing two titles.

As a junior in 2022, Basavareddy showcased his potential by winning the boys’ doubles title at the US Open alongside Ozan Baris. Fast forward to 2024, and after a stint playing college tennis, he decided to take the plunge into the professional ranks. His decision has already paid off, earning him a spot in the 2024 NextGen ATP Finals.

Thanks to a wild card entry, he’ll be making his Grand Slam debut in the main draw of the 2024 Australian Open. 

Learner Tien, a talented player of Vietnamese descent, has been making waves in the tennis world. Tien had an impressive junior career and had an amazing year in 2023. That year, he reached the finals in singles at the Australian and US Open. He also clinched the Australian Open doubles title alongside fellow American, Cooper Williams—a significant milestone in his career.

Tien’s journey included playing college tennis at the University of Southern California (USC). By 2024, Tien had transitioned successfully into the professional circuit. He reached four Challenger finals and won three of them, including his first Challenger title at the Cranbrook Tennis Classic in the United States. Tien is sponsored by Adidas and Wilson. He has earned less than $1 million in his career.
