In the Shanghai tournament of 2024, he reached the fourth round with a 6-4 record.

Fritz made his way to the final of the 2024 US Open, becoming the first American man to reach a Grand Slam final since 2006. Along the way, he defeated number 8-ranked Ruud in the fourth round, number 4-ranked Zverev in the quarterfinals, and number 20-ranked Tiafoe in an all-American semifinal. Additionally, he defeated number 2-ranked Nadal in the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals semi-finals after beating him in the final of the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells tournament, becoming the first American men’s champion at that event since Agassi in 2001.

Fritz achieved his first Grand Slam fourth round at the 2022 Australian Open and his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon in the same year, despite having a previously disappointing record of 0-7 in Grand Slam third round matches. He reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2016 Memphis tournament as an 18-year-old wildcard, making him the youngest American finalist since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990.

In terms of representing his country, Fritz helped Team USA win the inaugural United Cup in 2023, participated in Team World’s victories in the Laver Cup in 2022 and 2023, and earned a bronze medal in men’s doubles with Paul at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Fritz aims to reach the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the eighth time out of nine events, missing only Canada and Shanghai. This would mark the twelfth quarterfinal appearance of his career at this level. He is currently ranked fifth on the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin and is seeking his second appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals after reaching the semi-finals in 2022.

Among American players in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments since 1990, Fritz currently ranks third in terms of quarterfinal appearances with 11, behind Pete Sampras with 45 and Andre Agassi with 44.

Holger Rune, aged 21, is currently ranked as the world number 14 and achieved his career-high rank of number 4 in August 2023. In the year 2024, he has a record of 38 wins and 20 losses, including reaching the final in Brisbane. In the Shanghai tournament of 2024, he has a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, reaching the fourth round.

Rune broke into the top 100 of the ATP rankings in January 2022, the top 50 in May 2022, and the top 10 in November 2022. He became the highest-ranked Dane in ATP Rankings history, reaching number 4. He won the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title in 2022 at the age of 19, becoming the first player to earn five top-10 wins at an event other than the Nitto ATP Finals since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990.

From the 2022 Paris tournament to the 2023 Rome tournament, Rune had a successful run in ATP Masters 1000 events, compiling an 18-5 record. He reached the runner-up position in Monte Carlo, losing to Rublev, and in Rome, losing to Medvedev.

Rune had a 7-match winning streak against top 5 opponents, which ended with a loss to Medvedev in the final of the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Rome tournament. His overall record against top 5 opponents is now 7-12.

After a slow start in 2022, Rune finished the year strongly with a 19-2 record, including reaching two finals. He had a challenging period from January to February and from June to July, with records of 1-6 and 0-7 respectively.

Rune made history as the first Danish man to reach the quarterfinals of the 2022 Roland Garros tournament and the first Danish man to reach a quarterfinal in any Grand Slam event during the Open Era.

Rune looks to achieve his 30th tour-level quarterfinal (currently 19-10) and his eighth quarterfinal at the ATP Masters 1000 level. In 2024, he aims to secure his second victory against a top 10-ranked player after defeating Dimitrov in the third round of Monte-Carlo in April. He also hopes to become only the second Scandinavian quarterfinalist in the history of the Shanghai tournament, following in the footsteps of Sweden’s Soderling from 2009-2010.
