Karen Khachanov, 28 years old and currently ranked 24th in the world, had a career-high ranking of 8th in July 2019. He achieved this after ending the 2018 season at No. 11. In 2018, Khachanov caused upsets by defeating top-10 players such as Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic on his way to winning the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title. However, he then experienced a 23-match losing streak against top-10 players from August 2019 to March 2023. Khachanov finally broke this streak by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas en route to reaching the semifinals of the 2023 Miami ATP Masters 1000. At the 2018 Paris tournament, he became the first unseeded ATP Masters 1000 champion since Nalbandian in 2007. Khachanov’s performance in Grand Slam events includes reaching the quarterfinals of all four events, with notable runs to the semifinals of the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he represented Team ROC as the No. 4 men’s player and earned a silver medal (held in 2021). Currently, Khachanov is on a five-match winning streak after winning his seventh ATP Tour title in Almaty. He aims to reach the Vienna quarterfinals for the fourth time, having previously reached it in 2016, 2019, and 2023.

Brandon Nakashima, 23 years old, is currently ranked 38th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 35th in September 2024. He broke into the top 50 in July 2022 and achieved his career-high ranking soon after defeating No. 15 Rune and No. 18 Musetti to reach the fourth round of the US Open. In 2022, Nakashima had a strong finish to the season, winning 16 out of 17 tiebreaks and capturing the Next Gen ATP Finals title in Milan. He also won his first ATP Tour title in his hometown of San Diego by defeating countryman Giron in 2022. As a 19-year-old in 2021, Nakashima reached back-to-back ATP Tour finals in Los Cabos and Atlanta, becoming the youngest American to reach multiple finals since Roddick in 2001-2002. In the 2022 Grand Slam events, he reached the third round of the French Open, the fourth round of Wimbledon, and the third round of the US Open. Nakashima achieved his first top 20 wins of his career by defeating No. 16 Shapovalov in the second round of Wimbledon and No. 19 Dimitrov in the second round of the US Open. Currently, Nakashima seeks his 15th ATP Tour quarterfinal appearance, his first above the ATP 250 level. He has previously reached two quarterfinals indoors, at the 2021 Antwerp tournament (lost to Schwartzman) and the 2022 Florence tournament (lost to Auger-Aliassime). On the PIF ATP Live Rankings, Nakashima is ranked 36th and would move to 34th with a win.
