He also won the 2024 Roland Garros, becoming the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces. Alcaraz has defeated 7-time champion Novak Djokovic in the 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon finals and became the second man in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals after Roger Federer. However, he lost to Djokovic in the 2024 Paris Olympics final. Alcaraz has achieved many milestones in his career, including becoming the youngest ATP 500 champion at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro and the third-youngest ATP Masters 1000 champion at the 2022 Miami tournament. He is the youngest player to defeat both Rafael Nadal and Djokovic in the same clay-court event, beating them on back-to-back days at the 2022 Madrid tournament. Alcaraz is currently on a 12-match winning streak, including his victory over Machac in the Davis Cup and winning the Beijing title. He is aiming for his 9th ATP Masters 1000 semi-final and would be the second youngest Shanghai semi-finalist if he achieves it. On the other hand, Tomas Machac is 23 years old and currently ranked World No. 33, which is his career-high ranking. He broke into the Top 100 in 2022 and reached his career-high in June 2024. Machac achieved his biggest win by defeating World No. 1 Djokovic to reach his first ATP Tour final in Geneva.

The current lowest-ranked semi-finalists are Kei Nishikori (No. 47) in 2011, Feliciano Lopez (No. 41) in 2009, Juan Monaco (No. 41) in 2010, and Gilles Simon (No. 32) in 2016.
