In 2023, Altmaier had a significant breakthrough by reaching his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal in Madrid as a lucky loser. In that tournament, he defeated the then No. 7 ranked player, Andrey Rublev, which was the biggest win of his career. Additionally, he reached the quarterfinals in Hamburg that year.

Altmaier concluded the 2022 season on a high note, winning 13 of his last 14 Challenger matches, including back-to-back titles in Lima-2 and Guayaquil. In July 2021, he achieved another milestone by advancing to his first ATP Tour semifinals in consecutive weeks at Umag and Kitzbuhel.

His journey in Grand Slam tournaments began when he made his qualifying debut at the 2020 Roland Garros. He had an impressive run, defeating the No. 8 ranked player, Matteo Berrettini, and reaching the fourth round. Altmaier also had a notable performance at the 2023 Roland Garros, reaching the third round and defeating the No. 9 ranked player, Jannik Sinner.

Altmaier is recognized for his one-handed backhand and has mentioned that his idols while growing up were fellow one-handers Federer and Wawrinka. It is worth noting that Altmaier’s record against top 20 players stands at 4-14 in his career, with a 1-9 record on hard courts. His lone victory against a top 20 player on a hard court came this February when he defeated his compatriot, Alexander Zverev, in the first round of the Acapulco tournament.

Moving on to Arthur Fils, he is 20 years old and currently holds a career-high ranking of No. 20. He achieved this ranking in July 2024 after breaking into the top 200 in January, top 100 in May, and top 50 in July 2023.

Fils has had a series of remarkable achievements in his young career, including equaling his biggest win by defeating the then No. 4 ranked player, Alexander Zverev, and capturing the 2024 Hamburg title. He also showed immense resilience in the all-French final of the 2024 Tokyo tournament by saving a championship point and ultimately defeating Ugo Humbert to secure the title.

In 2023, Fils became the youngest Frenchman since Gael Monfils in 2005 to win an ATP Tour title when he lifted the Lyon trophy as the No. 112 ranked wild card. He achieved this feat by defeating F. Cerundolo in the final. Earlier in the same year, Fils reached the semifinals of an ATP Tour event in Montpellier, becoming the youngest Frenchman since Richard Gasquet in 2004 to achieve this accomplishment. He reached another ATP Tour semifinal in Marseille, losing to Benjamin Bonzi.

Fils made his mark even before his professional career, as he defeated former top 20 player Bernard Tomic in his Grand Slam qualifying debut at the 2021 Roland Garros when he was just 16 years old and ranked 1,035th. He also reached the boys’ singles final and won the boys’ doubles title with Mpetshi Perricard, achieving a career-high ranking of No. 3 in the junior rankings during the 2021 season.

Additionally, Fils is currently enjoying great success in ATP 500 events, as he is on a 10-match winning streak. He recently secured titles in Hamburg on clay and Tokyo on hard court, where he saved a match point against Ugo Humbert in the final. Fils currently holds the top position on the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah and is aiming for his second appearance in the Next Gen ATP Finals, having reached the final in 2023 but falling short against Nikola Medjedovic.
