In 2024, he reached the semifinals of the Madrid Open and had an overall record of 7-4 in the tournament. Fritz achieved his career-high ranking of No. 4 in November 2024, after becoming the first American man since James Blake in 2006 to play in the Nitto ATP Finals championship match and finish inside the top 5 of the year-end rankings. He also made history at the 2024 US Open by becoming the first American man since 2009 to reach a Grand Slam final, defeating players like No. 8 Casper Ruud, No. 4 Alexander Zverev, and No. 20 Frances Tiafoe in the process. In 2022, Fritz defeated No. 2 Rafael Nadal on his way to reaching the semifinals of the Nitto ATP Finals, having previously defeated Nadal in the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells final, becoming the event’s first American men’s champion since Andre Agassi in 2001. At the age of 18, 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. He has also had success in team events, clinching the inaugural United Cup for Team USA in 2023, helping Team World win the Laver Cup in 2022 and 2023, and earning a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in men’s doubles with his partner Paul. It is worth noting that this is Fritz’s first event since reaching the ATP Masters 1000 Miami semifinals and his first tournament on clay since the Paris Olympics in July. Additionally, he became the first American man to reach the semifinals of the Madrid Open since it moved to clay in 2009.

Christopher O’Connell, age 30, is currently ranked world No. 87, with a career-high ranking of No. 53. In 2025, he has a win-loss record of 7-9, with his best performance being a quarterfinal appearance at Bucharest. O’Connell’s rise in the rankings has been impressive, as he started 2019 unranked and broke into the top 200 in September of that year. By the end of the 2022 season, he was ranked No. 78, and in September 2023, he reached his career-high ranking of No. 53 after winning his fifth Challenger title in Shanghai without dropping a single set. O’Connell’s breakthrough on the ATP Tour came in 2022 when he reached his first semifinal at the San Diego tournament. Prior to that, he had reached his first quarterfinal at the Atlanta tournament in 2021 as a qualifier. He has recorded significant wins in his career, including a victory over No. 13 Diego Schwartzman at the 2022 Australian Open, where he reached the third round as a wildcard.

In 2019, he played 108 main draw and qualifying singles matches across all tours, posting a record of 50-11 on the ITF World Tennis Tour, with three titles in ten finals. O’Connell took a break from tennis in 2018 due to numerous injuries and spent time cleaning boats with his brother to distance himself from the sport. He made a comeback in 2019. O’Connell is yet to secure a victory against a top 10 player, and he aims to achieve the biggest win of his career by becoming the first Australian man to defeat a top-4 player on clay since Nick Kyrgios defeated No. 4 Stan Wawrinka in Madrid in 2016. He also seeks to reach the third round of an ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the second time, following his achievement at the 2024 Miami Open.

Lastly, the text provides a list of Australian men who have recorded top-5 wins on clay since 2005. These include Alex de Minaur defeating No. 5 Daniil Medvedev at the 2024 Roland Garros, Nick Kyrgios defeating No. 4 Stan Wawrinka at the 2016 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid, Nick Kyrgios defeating No. 2 Roger Federer at the 2015 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid, and Lleyton Hewitt defeating No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko at the 2007 ATP Masters 1000 Hamburg.
