Alexei Popyrin, 25 years old, currently holds the 24th position in the ATP rankings, with his career-high being No. 23. In 2024, he has achieved a win-loss record of 27-21 and captured the title in Montreal. His notable achievement in Montreal was becoming the first Australian player to win an ATP Masters 1000 title since Lleyton Hewitt in 2003. Popyrin achieved his career-high ranking after an impressive performance, saving three match points against Grigor Dimitrov in the Round of 32. He also earned five consecutive victories against top 20 opponents during the tournament, making him the fourth lowest-ranked champion in ATP Masters 1000 series history since 1990. Popyrin’s biggest career win came against four-time champion Novak Djokovic, enabling him to reach the fourth round of the 2024 US Open. He has also reached his first ATP Tour semifinal, advanced to his first final at the 2021 Singapore Open, and claimed his first title at the same tournament. Additionally, he defeated former champion Stan Wawrinka in the final of the 2023 Umag tournament. Popyrin’s performance in 2019 was remarkable as he qualified for tour-level events 10 times, equalling the single-season record set by M. Zverev in 2016. In his junior career, Popyrin achieved a ranking of No. 2 and won the 2017 Roland Garros boys’ singles title, ending his junior career with 17 consecutive victories.

It is worth noting that Alexei Popyrin has faced challenges when playing against top 5 players, recording a record of 2-11. However, he has managed to secure victories against No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2021 Australian Open, where Tsitsipas retired from the match, and against No. 2 Novak Djokovic in the third round of the 2021 US Open. Popyrin aims to reach his third ATP Masters 1000 Round of 16 this season after his performances in Monte-Carlo, where he lost to Alex de Minaur, and Montreal, where he defeated Andrey Rublev in the final to claim the biggest title of his career.

Daniil Medvedev, 28 years old, currently holds the fifth position in the ATP rankings, with his career-high being No. 1. In 2024, he has achieved a win-loss record of 45-18 and reached two finals. Medvedev spent 16 weeks as the world No. 1 in 2022, making him the tallest player to hold the top position in history at 1.98m (6’6″), and he became the first player other than Djokovic, Federer, Murray, and Nadal to hold the No. 1 ranking since Andy Roddick in 2004. He has reached six Grand Slam finals and holds a 5-3 record against Djokovic when Djokovic was ranked World No. 1. One of his notable victories came in the final of the 2021 US Open, where he defeated Djokovic in straight sets, denying him the calendar Grand Slam. Medvedev’s impressive performance continued at the 2020 Nitto ATP Finals, where he defeated No. 1 Djokovic, No. 2 Nadal, and No. 3 Thiem en route to capturing the title. This made him the first player in tournament history and on the ATP Tour since the 2007 Madrid Masters (won by Nalbandian) to achieve a clean sweep of the top 3 players. Medvedev achieved a remarkable 20 consecutive wins from 2020-2021, with 12 of those wins coming against top 10 opponents. In 2021, he led the ATP Tour with 63 victories and secured team titles at the ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup. The majority of Medvedev’s 20 singles titles have been won on hard courts, including ATP Masters 1000 championships at Cincinnati 2019, Shanghai 2019, Paris 2020, Toronto 2021, Miami 2023, and Rome 2023, where he also won his first career clay ATP Tour title.

It should be noted that Medvedev is aiming for his first victory in Paris since reaching the final in 2021, where he fell to Djokovic. In the following two years, he suffered early exits in the opening rounds, losing to Alex de Minaur in 2022 and Grigor Dimitrov in 2023. Medvedev has had a successful season in ATP Masters 1000 events, with an 18-8 record, including a runner-up finish in Indian Wells where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz.
