Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Hugo Gaston, a 24-year-old French player, currently ranked 77th in the world, had a breakthrough in his career after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Paris as a qualifier. This achievement allowed him to enter the top 100 and reach a career-high ranking of 58 in July 2022. In the same year, he had his first ATP Tour quarterfinal, semifinal, and final at the 2021 Gstaad, where he was ranked 155th. He also competed in the Next Gen ATP Finals at the end of the season. At the 2024 Kitzbuhel, Gaston saved two match points to defeat the defending champion Baez and reached his second ATP Tour final. Notably, in the 2020 Roland Garros, he became the first Frenchman to reach the fourth round in his debut since Dominguez in 1971. In that tournament, he defeated the 2015 champion Wawrinka in five sets before losing to two-time finalist Thiem in another five-set match. His achievement made him the lowest-ranked player, ranked 239th, to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since 2004 Australian Open and Roland Garros in 2002. In his junior career, Gaston finished 2018 as the world No. 2 junior after winning a gold medal in boys’ singles and bronze medals in boys’ doubles and mixed doubles at the Youth Olympics. Gaston’s biggest win came against the No. 9 de Minaur in the quarterfinals of this tournament, and he now aims to reach his third ATP Tour final after the 2021 Gstaad and 2024 Kitzbuhel, both on clay. If successful, he would become the sixth Frenchman to reach the final of the Antwerp event.

On the other hand, Roberto Bautista Agut, a 36-year-old Spanish player, is currently ranked 60th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 9th at the end of 2019. He earned his 400th career win in 2024 and has won a total of 11 ATP Tour titles, with two of them captured in 2022. Bautista Agut reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2019 Australian Open and his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon the same year, breaking his previous record of never reaching the fourth round in Grand Slam matches. He has also defeated top-ranked players like Djokovic and Medvedev in various tournaments. Bautista Agut had successful runs at the 2020 and 2022 ATP Cups, helping Spain reach the finals in both editions. He also played football for Villarreal C.F. until the age of 14. In this tournament, Bautista Agut is aiming to reach his 23rd ATP Tour final, with a current record of 11 wins and 11 losses. If he reaches the final, he would become the first Spanish finalist in Antwerp and return to the top 50 rankings for the first time in 12 months. He would also be one of the oldest finalists in the 2024 ATP Tour, alongside Wawrinka, who is 39 years old and facing Paul in the Stockholm semifinals.

It’s worth noting that Rafael Nadal, age 38, reached the final of the Bastad tournament but lost to Navone. Novak Djokovic, also 37 years old, reached the finals of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai, won the Paris Olympics by defeating Alcaraz, and was a finalist in Wimbledon, where he lost to Alcaraz. Marin Cilic, aged 35, emerged as the champion in the Hangzhou tournament after defeating Zhang.
