Karatsev also ended his countryman Rublev’s 23-match ATP 500 win streak to win his first ATP Tour title in Dubai in 2021. He qualified for his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinals in 2023 in Madrid as World No. 121. In the 2021 Australian Open, he reached the semifinals as World No. 114, becoming the first men’s semifinalist to make a Grand Slam debut in the Open Era. Karatsev also caused upsets by defeating No. 1 Djokovic in the Belgrade-1 semifinals and No. 2 Medvedev in the Rome second round in the spring of 2021. In mixed doubles, he finished as the runner-up in the 2021 Roland Garros and won a silver medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with Vesnina.

Karatsev aims to achieve consecutive wins for the first time this season after returning from a knee injury that caused him to miss over three months of play. He had already defeated Harris in the first

round and is seeking his 14th tour-level quarterfinal. His last quarterfinal appearance was in Tokyo last October, where he reached the final.

Frances Tiafoe, aged 26, is currently ranked as World No. 29 and achieved a career-high ranking of No. 10.

Tiafoe’s parents emigrated from Sierra Leone in 1996, and his father worked as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland, where Tiafoe and his twin brother Franklin trained as children.
