Gaston and Altmaier are on the Day 2 Schedule at Generali Open 2024 on Tuesday 23 July 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Hugo Gaston from France will be facing Daniel Altmaier from Germany in their first-ever meeting. Gaston, aged 23, is currently ranked World No. 91, with a career-high ranking of No. 58 in July 2022. In 2024, he has a record of 5 wins and 9 losses, including reaching the quarterfinals in Lyon and making his debut in Kitzbuhel.
Gaston achieved a breakthrough into the Top 100 after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Paris as a qualifier. He also had a successful year in 2021, advancing to his first ATP Tour quarterfinal, semifinal, and final in Gstaad when he was ranked World No. 155. Additionally, he competed at the Next Gen ATP Finals at the end of the season.
In the 2020 Roland Garros, Gaston made history by becoming the first Frenchman to reach the fourth round in his tournament debut since Dominguez in 1971. He defeated the 2015 champion, Wawrinka, in a five-set match but lost in another five-set match to the two-time finalist, Thiem. As a wildcard ranked 239th, Gaston became the lowest-ranked player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since No. 248 Canas at the 2004 Australian Open and the first to do so at Roland Garros since No. 283 Di Pasquale in 2002.
In his junior career, Gaston ended 2018 as the World No. 2 junior player. He won a gold medal in boys’ singles and bronze medals in both boys’ doubles and mixed doubles at the Youth Olympics.
It is worth noting that Gaston has a record of 3 wins and 2 losses in his last five matches against Top 100 players, improving from a slow start to the year of 1 win and 6 losses across all levels. However, he has struggled against players with a one-handed backhand, with a 2-10 record against them at the tour level. His notable win over Wawrinka at the
2020 Roland Garros came on clay.
On the other hand, Daniel Altmaier, aged 25, is currently ranked World No. 71, with a career-high ranking of No. 47 in October 2023. In 2024, he has a record of 10 wins and 17 losses, including reaching the quarterfinals in Auckland. He had a strong season in 2023, reaching his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at Madrid as a lucky loser and achieving his biggest career win by defeating No. 7 Rublev on his way to the quarterfinals in Hamburg.
Altmaier finished the 2022 season on a high note, winning 13 of his last 14 Challenger matches and capturing back-to-back titles at Lima-2 and Guayaquil. He reached his first ATP Tour semifinals in Umag and Kitzbuhel in July 2021.
In his Grand Slam debut at the 2020 Roland Garros, Altmaier made it through qualifying and earned his sixth win of the tournament by defeating No. 8 Berrettini to reach the fourth round. He also reached the third round of the 2023 Roland Garros after defeating No. 9 Sinner.
Altmaier’s playing style includes a one-handed backhand, and he idolized fellow one-handers Federer and Wawrinka while growing up. It is worth mentioning that Altmaier reached one of his two ATP Tour semifinals in Kitzbuhel in 2021, losing to Martinez. He is currently on a five-match losing streak against left-handed players since August last year, including ATP Tour qualifying matches.
To summarize, Hugo Gaston and Daniel Altmaier will face each other for the first time. Gaston has had notable achievements, including reaching the fourth round at the 2020 Roland Garros and breaking into the Top 100. Altmaier has had success in Challenger tournaments and reached ATP Tour semifinals. Both players have struggled against opponents with a one-handed backhand.
