The first encounter took place at the 2018 Estoril Open in Portugal on clay, where Carballes Baena emerged victorious in a thrilling match, winning 5-7, 6-2, 7-6(1). They met again at the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 in Rome, Italy, also on clay, and this time Norrie came out on top with a straight set victory of 6-4, 6-4.

Norrie, who is 29 years old, is currently ranked World No. 56 with a career-high ranking of No. 8 achieved in September 2022. In 2024, his win-loss record stands at 17-17, with a semifinal appearance in Rio de Janeiro being his best result so far. His debut in Metz marks his first participation in the tournament.

Norrie’s rise in the rankings includes breaking into the top 10 in April 2022, making him the 4th British man in history to achieve this feat, joining the esteemed company of Henman, Murray, and Rusedski. He also reached 13 ATP Tour finals between May 2021 and February 2023, with his crowning achievement being the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells, making him the first British champion in the tournament’s 46-year history. At the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, Norrie reached the fourth round, quarterfinals, and semifinals of a Grand Slam for the first time, eventually losing to the eventual champion Djokovic in four sets. Norrie’s biggest wins of his career came in 2023 when he defeated the No. 2 ranked players Nadal at the United Cup and Alcaraz in the Rio de Janeiro final.

Born in South Africa to a Scottish father and Welsh mother, Norrie grew up in New Zealand. He became the No. 1 collegiate player in the United States while representing Texas Christian University. Norrie has been playing for Great Britain since 2013.

Carballes Baena, aged 31, is currently ranked World No. 57 with a career-high ranking of No. 49 reached in April 2023. He earned this ranking after a successful run at the Marrakech tournament, where he reached the final. Despite his junior career as a former World No. 8, Carballes Baena entered the top 50 at 30 years old. He made his breakthrough on the ATP Tour by winning his second title at the 2018 Quito Open, becoming the first Spanish qualifier to achieve this since Almagro in 2006. He also has notable victories over top-ranked players, such as defeating Shapovalov, ranked No. 11, at the 2020 Roland Garros and Rune, ranked No. 4, at the 2023 US Open.

Carballes Baena’s journey includes a successful outing at the 2014 Casablanca Open, where he reached the semifinals as a qualifier. He has also achieved impressive results on the Challenger circuit, with a record of 243-151, including three clay-court titles in Seville in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Carballes Baena has a strong record against British players, boasting a 14-2 record across all levels. However, he suffered a loss to Norrie at the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Rome and has not been able to defeat Norrie in their subsequent meetings. In 2021, Carballes Baena also had success on hard courts, with notable runs to the quarterfinals in Auckland and Hangzhou.

The match between Norrie and Carballes Baena will take place on Court 1 in the Metz tournament. Norrie will be seeking his first ATP Tour win since defeating Kovalik in the first round of Bastad and losing to Nadal in the second round in July. He will also aim for his first indoor ATP Tour win since the 2023 Vienna tournament, where he defeated Misolic. Norrie follows in the footsteps of Murray as the second British singles player to participate in the tournament, with Murray having reached the final in 2007 and the quarterfinals in 2021.
