[PR] Soonwoo Kwon from South Korea and [WC] Maximilian Marterer from Germany will face each other for their first tour-level meeting. They previously played in the 17 Bangkok CH tournament, where Marterer won 6-0 6-4 in the Round of 32.
Kwon, 26 years old and currently ranked World No. 349, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 52 after winning his first ATP Tour title at the 2021 Astana tournament. He also won his second ATP Tour championship at the 2023 Adelaide-2, becoming the first Korean player to win multiple titles and the first lucky loser (LL) to win a title since Cecchinato at the 2018 Budapest tournament. Kwon had a notable performance as a LL at the 2021 Eastbourne tournament, where he reached the semifinals by defeating Ivashka for his first ATP Tour quarterfinal win in eight attempts. In the 2022 Davis Cup Finals group match, Kwon achieved his biggest career win by defeating No. 13 Auger-Aliassime of Canada, who went on to win the tournament. He had a successful run in Challengers in 2019, with a 35-14 record and titles at Yokohama and Seoul. Kwon also won his third Challenger title at the 2021 Biella-2 tournament.

reached his career-high ranking of No. 45 in August 2018. However, he suffered a left knee injury that led to a steep decline in his ranking, reaching as low as No. 379 in February 2020. His biggest career win came against No. 16 Schwartzman, enabling him to reach his first ATP Tour semifinal at the 2018 Munich tournament. Marterer ended his 0-14 start in tour-level matches by advancing to the third round of the 2018 Australian Open and reaching the fourth round of the 2018 Roland Garros tournament. He qualified for seven Grand Slam events, including the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open in 2022. In terms of his Challenger record, Marterer has a 159-110 record (9-4 in finals), with his most recent title in Danderyd in 2023. Marterer won his only tour-level match of the season at Roland Garros, defeating No. 36 Thompson in the first round before losing to Bergs in the second round. He is aiming for his second win in Hamburg after defeating No. 251 Molleker in the first round last year. Marterer is left-handed.
So, in the upcoming match, Kwon is hoping to secure his first win in the Hamburg main draw and become the first South Korean player to achieve this feat. Meanwhile, Marterer aims to get his second win in Hamburg and build on his lone tour-level win of the season at Roland Garros.
