David Goffin, age 33, is currently ranked 66th in the world. He reached a career-high ranking of 7th in 2017 after a successful season, which included wins over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer en route to the Nitto ATP Finals championship match. He also became the first Belgian player to break into the top 10, qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, defeat a world number 1 player, and reach an ATP Masters 1000 final (2019 Cincinnati). In 2022, Goffin achieved his 300th victory, won his 6th ATP Tour title, and recorded his 3rd win over a world number 1 player. He has reached 4 Grand Slam quarterfinals, with his most recent one being at Wimbledon in 2022. He has also led Belgium to the Davis Cup finals in 2015 and 2017. However, Goffin has struggled against top-3 players, with a record of 6 wins and 25 losses. He will be aiming for his first top-10 win since defeating the world number 1, Carlos Alcaraz, in the 2022 Astana first round. Goffin also looks to reach his 13th ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal and potentially become one of the lowest-ranked quarterfinalists in tournament history.

Alexander Zverev, age 27, is currently ranked 3rd in the world. He achieved a career-high ranking of 2nd after reaching the 2022 Roland Garros semifinals, where he suffered a right ankle injury. Zverev has had a successful career, with 22 career titles, including 6 ATP Masters 1000 titles. He has defeated the world number 1 players Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal on multiple occasions, and also has victories over Roger Federer. Zverev reached his first Grand Slam final at the 2020 US Open and has won 3 titles at the Nitto ATP Finals. He aims to reach his personal-best of 60 wins in a season, as well as advance to his 31st ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal. In the 2024 season, Zverev has already won the Rome title and has a win-loss record of 59-18.
