Alex de Minaur from Australia will be facing Hugo Gaston from France in their upcoming match. Gaston currently leads the head-to-head record with 1 win to de Minaur’s 0.

De Minaur, aged 25, holds the 9th position in the ATP rankings and has achieved a career-high ranking of No. 6 in July 2024. One of the highlights of his career was defeating the World No. 1 player, Djokovic, at the 2024 United Cup, which was his biggest win to date. In 2022, he achieved a personal-best 47 victories and went on to win the Acapulco tournament in both 2023 and 2024, marking his biggest ATP Tour titles. De Minaur reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2020 US Open, immediately after winning his first ATP Tour doubles title at the 2020 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati. He has also performed well in other Grand Slam events, reaching the quarterfinals at the 2024 Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and US Open, as well as the ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals, semifinals, and final at the 2023 Toronto. De Minaur has also represented his country in team events, contributing to Team World’s victory at the 2022 Laver Cup and achieving a 6-1 record in Davis Cup play. He has a multicultural background, with a Uruguayan father, Spanish mother, and the ability to speak English, Spanish, and French. De Minaur is currently seeking his 25th ATP Tour semifinal appearance, with his previous four indoor semifinals taking place in Basel in 2019, Antwerp in 2020, Stockholm in 2022, and Rotterdam in 2024. This is his first tournament since the US Open, and he is the No. 1 seed for the second time in his career.
On the other hand, Hugo Gaston is a 24-year-old player from France. Currently ranked No. 77 in the world, he achieved his career-high ranking of No. 58 in July 2022. Gaston first broke into the top 100 after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Paris as a qualifier. He also had a successful 2021 season, reaching his first ATP Tour quarterfinal, semifinal, and final at the Gstaad tournament, where he was ranked No. 155 at the time. Gaston also participated in the Next Gen ATP Finals at the end of that season. In 2024, he reached his second ATP Tour final in Kitzbuhel after defeating the defending champion, Baez, saving two match points along the way. Gaston made his debut at the 2020 Roland Garros and became the first Frenchman since Dominguez in 1971 to reach the fourth round in his first appearance, defeating 2015 champion Wawrinka in a thrilling five-set match before falling to two-time finalist Thiem in another five-set battle. Notably, Gaston was also the lowest-ranked player, at No. 239, to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since 2002. His achievements in the junior circuit include ending 2018 as the World No. 2 junior and winning a gold medal in boys’ singles at the Youth Olympics. Gaston will be aiming for his third ATP Tour semifinal, with his previous successes coming at the Gstaad and Kitzbuhel tournaments. He is yet to secure a victory against a top-10 player and has achieved the majority of his 15 hard-court wins indoors. Gaston also reached the quarterfinals of the Antwerp tournament in his debut appearance last year, narrowly losing to Marterer.
