In 2024, he has a record of 32 wins and 11 losses, including winning the Acapulco title. In his career, he has won 8 ATP Tour titles, with Acapulco being the biggest so far. He achieved his highest ranking of number 9 in February 2024 after defeating world number 1, Novak Djokovic, at the 2024 United Cup. In 2023, he reached his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal, semifinal, and final at the Toronto Masters.
In terms of achievements, he reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2020 US Open and won his first ATP Tour doubles title at the 2020 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati alongside Carreno Busta.

He is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish, and is of Uruguayan and Spanish descent.
De Minaur is aiming to win his ninth ATP Tour title and secure multiple ATP titles in a single season for the third time in his career. He would also become the third Australian player to win the event, following in the footsteps of Patrick Rafter (1998-2000) and Lleyton Hewitt (2001). A title win would elevate his current ranking of number 8 on the PIF ATP Rankings to number 7.

Korda comes from a family with a strong tennis background. His father, Petr Korda, reached a career-high ranking of number 2 on the ATP Tour, while his mother, Regina, peaked at number 26 on the WTA Tour. His sister, Nelly Korda, is a professional golfer and became the world number 1 women’s golfer in 2021, while his other sister, Jessica Korda, reached a career-high ranking of number 8 in women’s golf.

He currently holds a record of 0-7 against top-10 opponents this year and is aiming for his first win since defeating Daniil Medvedev at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai. A title win at ‘s-Hertogenbosch would boost his ranking from number 23 to a career-high of number 21. He would also become the second American man to win the ‘s-Hertogenbosch title after Richey Reneberg in 1996.
