Taylor Fritz, 27 years old from the USA, has reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 in November 2024. He achieved this feat after becoming the first American man since James Blake in 2006 to play in the Nitto ATP Finals championship match and finish in the Top 5 of the year-end rankings. Fritz’s impressive performances continued at the 2024 US Open, where he became the first American man to reach a Grand Slam final since 2009. Along the way, he secured notable victories over No. 8 Casper Ruud in the fourth round, No. 4 Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, and No. 20 Frances Tiafoe in the all-American semifinal.

In the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals, Fritz defeated No. 2 Rafael Nadal, marking a significant milestone in his career. He had previously beaten Nadal at the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells final, becoming the first American men’s champion at the event since Andre Agassi in 2001. Fritz had a breakthrough year in 2022, reaching his first Grand Slam fourth round at the Australian Open and his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon, despite entering the season with a 0-7 record in Grand Slam third-round matches.

As an 18-year-old wildcard, Fritz reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2016 Memphis tournament, making him the youngest American finalist since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990. Fritz has also contributed to team competitions, leading Team USA to victory in the inaugural United Cup in 2023 and helping Team World win the Laver Cup in both 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, he secured a bronze medal in men’s doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside his partner Paul.

Hubert Hurkacz, also 27 years old, is currently ranked No. 16 in the world, with a career-high ranking of No. 6 achieved in August 2024. He holds the distinction of being the highest-ranked Polish men’s player in history. Hurkacz concluded the 2021 and 2023 seasons with year-end career-high rankings of No. 9 after appearances in the Nitto ATP Finals.

Hurkacz made headlines at the 2021 Wimbledon, reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal. He achieved this feat by defeating 8-time champion Roger Federer in a straight-set victory of 6-3 7-6(4) 6-0, which also happened to be Federer’s final singles match of his career. In 2021, Hurkacz won the ATP Masters 1000 Miami title, where he upset five seeds. He also saved a championship point to secure the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai title in 2023 after losing in the final of the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Montreal.

Hurkacz has consistently performed well in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, reaching the semifinals at the 2021 Paris, 2022 Miami, and 2023 Cincinnati editions. He has also tasted success in doubles, winning the ATP Masters 1000 titles at the 2020 Paris tournament with Felix Auger-Aliassime and the 2022 Miami tournament with John Isner. In 2022, Hurkacz defeated the No. 1 ranked Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to win the Halle tournament and claim his fifth ATP Tour singles title.

In terms of their performance at the United Cup, Fritz boasts an 8-3 singles record, including a 4-1 record in the 2023 edition, where he propelled Team USA to victory in the inaugural tournament. Hurkacz, on the other hand, has a 7-6 singles record at the event but has struggled against top-ranked opponents, losing all four matches against Top 20 players, including last year’s final against No. 7 Alexander Zverev despite holding two championship points. He is now aiming for his first win against a Top 10 player since defeating No. 4 Zverev in the Halle semifinals last June and his first win over a Top 10 player on hard courts since the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai final.
