He also qualified to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinals at the 2023 Madrid tournament, where he lost to LL Struff in the semifinals after defeating him in qualifying.

In the 2021 Australian Open, Karatsev reached the semifinals as the No. 114 player in the world. This made him the first men’s semifinalist to make his Grand Slam debut in the Open Era. He was also the first men’s qualifier to reach the Grand Slam semifinals since Voltchkov at the 2000 Wimbledon tournament, and the lowest-ranked Grand Slam men’s semifinalist since No. 125 Ivanisevic at the 2001 Wimbledon tournament. Karatsev had notable victories against No. 1 Djokovic in the Belgrade-1 semifinals and No. 2 Medvedev in the Rome second round during the spring of 2021. Additionally, in mixed doubles, he finished as the runner-up at the 2021 Roland Garros tournament and won the silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the All-ROC final.

Karatsev is currently seeking his 14th tour-level quarter-final and aims to reach his first one since his run to the 2023 Tokyo final where he lost to Shelton. He is defending 300 Tokyo final points this week and has dropped to No. 316 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings. He hopes to secure his third Top 100 win of 2024 after defeating No. 76 McDonald in the ATP Masters 1000 Rome first round and No. 46 Zhang in the first round of this tournament.

Alexander Shevchenko, 23 years old and ranked 61st in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 45 in February 2024 after defeating No. 7 Rune for the biggest win of his career to reach the Rotterdam quarter-finals. He broke into the Top 300 in March 2022, the Top 200 in June 2022, and the Top 100 in April 2023. Shevchenko saved two match points to earn his first Top 10 win over No. 9 Fritz and reached his first ATP Tour quarterfinal in Basel. He also advanced to his first semifinal and final in Metz, concluding his 2023 season on a high note. He has also reached ATP Tour quarterfinals at the 2024 Montpellier, 2024 Rotterdam, and 2024 Geneva tournaments. Shevchenko earned his first ATP Tour win at the 2023 Barcelona tournament against Giustino and his first Grand Slam win at the 2023 Roland Garros tournament against Otte. He did not drop a set on his way to his first Challenger final and title at the 2022 Bratislava tournament and also won his second title at the 2023 Tenerife-1 tournament.

Shevchenko defeated his compatriot Kukushkin in the first round of the tournament and now aims to reach his sixth ATP Tour quarterfinal. He has a record of 1-4 in ATP Tour quarterfinals.
