Jiri Lehecka, aged 23, currently holds the 28th spot in the world rankings. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 23 in January 2024 after winning his first ATP Tour title in Adelaide. He had a successful run in previous tournaments, defeating Rublev, who was ranked No. 5, to reach the semi-finals of the 2023 Doha tournament. He also reached the quarter-finals of the 2023 Australian Open, where he achieved wins against Norrie and Auger-Aliassime.

Lehecka’s breakthrough performances include reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 Rotterdam tournament as a qualifier, where he defeated Shapovalov for his first ATP Tour win. He also celebrated his 21st birthday during the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals and finished as a runner-up.

In his junior years, Lehecka won the 2019 Wimbledon boys’ doubles title with his fellow countryman Forejtek. Lehecka’s objective is to reach his fourth ATP Tour final, with all of them taking place on hard courts. He already secured his first ATP Tour title in Adelaide last year by defeating Draper and aims to become the second Czech male finalist in the event’s history after Stepanek.

On the other hand, Grigor Dimitrov, aged 33, holds the 10th spot in the world rankings. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 3 in the world after ending 2017 as the first debutant to win all five matches on his way to the Nitto ATP Finals title since McEnroe in 1978. Dimitrov is the highest-ranked Bulgarian player in history and the only champion from his country, having won a total of nine titles, including the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati.

Additionally, he has made it to 11 ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals and reached the finals of tournaments such as Cincinnati in 2017, Paris in 2023, and Miami in 2024.

Notably, Dimitrov made history by defeating Federer in the 2019 US Open quarter-finals when he was ranked 78th, becoming the second-lowest-ranked US Open men’s semi-finalist in history after Connors in 1991.

Dimitrov aims to reach his 22nd ATP Tour final, with 9 victories and 12 losses in previous final appearances. He has had particular success on hard courts, with 18 of his finals taking place on this surface. This will be his fourth appearance in the Brisbane tournament finals, having won the title in 2013 and 2017 and finishing as the runner-up in 2024.
