Marozsan started playing tennis at the age of 5 and credits his father for teaching him everything about the sport. In the current tournament, Marozsan ousted defending champion and No. 8 Rublev in the second round, and he is now aiming to reach his first ATP Tour semifinal. If he succeeds, he will become the fourth Hungarian man in the 21st century to reach a tour-level semifinal, following Fucsovics (5), Balazs (3), and Savolt (1).
On the other hand, Shang Juncheng is 19 years old and currently ranked world No. 50. He broke into the Top 100, becoming the first Chinese teenager to do so in May 2024. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 47 in October 2024 after winning his first ATP Tour title in Chengdu. Juncheng’s notable wins include defeating No. 16 Tiafoe to reach his first ATP Tour semifinal in Hong Kong and defeating No. 14 Shelton en route to his second semifinal in Atlanta. He reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2024 Australian Open, becoming the first Chinese man to achieve this feat in the Open Era. Juncheng made his ATP Tour debut at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro as a wild card, and his first tour-level win came at the 2023 Australian Open, where he beat Otte in the first round before losing to Tiafoe in the second round. On the ATP Challenger Tour, Juncheng has a record of 37-27, including his first title in Lexington.
Juncheng’s nickname is Jerry, derived from the cartoon character of his favorite childhood show. He is now looking to reach consecutive semifinals in Hong Kong and his fourth ATP Tour semifinal overall, all of which have been on hard courts in 2024. The 19-year-old has earned 11 out of his 31 tour-level wins on Asian soil, with the highlight being his title in Chengdu in September 2024.
