Matteo Berrettini, aged 28, is currently ranked 41st in the world and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 6. His impressive performance in the 2022 Australian Open saw him reach the semifinals, making him the third-highest-ranked Italian player since the PIF ATP Rankings began in 1973. The other notable Italian players include Jannik Sinner, who reached No. 1 in 2024, and Adriano Panatta, who reached No. 4 in 1976. Berrettini also achieved significant milestones by becoming the first Italian men’s singles finalist in Wimbledon history in 2021 and the first Italian Grand Slam men’s singles finalist since Panatta’s achievement in the 1976 Roland Garros. He has also become the first Italian male player to reach the quarterfinals in all four Grand Slam events and the first to secure a win at the Nitto ATP Finals by defeating Dominic Thiem in the 2019 round-robin stage.

Berrettini has an outstanding record on grass, with 42 wins and 11 losses. He has won 4 out of his 10 ATP Tour titles on this surface. Notably, he achieved a unique feat by winning the London/Queen’s Club title in 2021 and 2022, becoming the first player in the Open Era to win titles in each of his first two appearances at that event. He has also secured notable victories against top-ranked players, defeating No. 3 Thiem in the 2021 ATP Cup team final and No. 3 Casper Ruud in the 2023 United Cup team final.

Currently, Berrettini holds an impressive record in ATP Tour quarterfinals in 2024, winning all four matches. He aims to reach his 23rd tour-level semifinal, the first above the ATP 250 level since winning the 2022 London/Queen’s Club title. Additionally, he aims to achieve his first semifinal on hard courts since the 2022 Naples tournament, where he reached the final but lost to Lorenzo Musetti.

Karen Khachanov, also 28 years old, is currently ranked 24th in the world and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 8 in July 2019, ending the 2018 season at No. 11. He made significant breakthroughs by defeating top-10 players such as Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic en route to winning the 2018 ATP Masters 1000 Paris title.

He broke this streak by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas in the 2023 Miami tournament, reaching the semifinals.

In the 2018 Paris tournament, Khachanov became the first unseeded ATP Masters 1000 champion since Nalbandian in 2007. He has also made notable runs in Grand Slam events, reaching the semifinals of the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. Additionally, he represented Team ROC as the No. 4 men’s player in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, earning a silver medal when the event was held in 2021.

Currently, Khachanov is on a six-match winning streak after winning the Almaty ATP Tour title. He seeks his first semifinal above the ATP 250 level since the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Miami tournament, where he lost to Daniil Medvedev. In the Vienna tournaments, he has struggled in the quarterfinal stage, losing to Karlovic in 2016, Schwartzman in 2019, and Medvedev in 2023.
