Holger Rune, a 21-year-old Danish player, is set to face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard from France in their first-ever meeting.

Rune made an impressive climb in the rankings, breaking into the top 100 in January 2022, the top 50 in May 2022, and the top 10 in November 2022. He became the highest-ranked Dane in the PIF ATP Rankings history, reaching number 4 in August 2023. At the age of 19, Rune won the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Paris title, making him the first player since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990 to earn 5 top-10 wins at a non-Nitto ATP Finals event.

From 2022 Paris to 2023 Rome, Rune had a successful run in ATP Masters 1000 events, with an 18-5 record. He reached the runner-up positions in Monte Carlo and Rome, losing to Rublev and Medvedev respectively. Rune also had a 7-match winning streak against top 5 opponents, which ended with a loss to Medvedev in the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Rome final. Overall, his record against top 5 players is 7-12.

Rune had a strong finish to the 2022 season, going on a 19-2 run, although he had a slow start in January-February and June-July. He made history by reaching the quarterfinals in the 2022 Roland Garros, becoming the first Danish man to achieve this feat in tournament history since 1925. He also reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal in the Open Era.

It is worth noting that this is Rune’s third appearance in the Basel tournament. He was a finalist in 2022 and reached the semifinals in 2023, losing to Auger-Aliassime on both occasions. Rune aims to reach his 10th ATP Tour final, with 4 of them being on indoor hard courts. His last final was in Brisbane in the first week of 2024, where he lost to Dimitrov.

On the other hand, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, a 21-year-old player from France, currently holds the 50th spot in the ATP rankings, with a career-high of number 44. In 2024, he has a 13-11 record, including winning the Lyon title. He broke into the top 100 in May 2024 and reached a career-high ranking of 44 in July.

Mpetshi Perricard had an impressive run in the Lyon tournament, where he won his first ATP Tour title as a wildcard ranked 117th. He earned his first top 30 wins by defeating Bublik in the semifinals and Etcheverry in the final. He also made an impact in Wimbledon as a lucky loser, defeating Korda in the first round and becoming the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round since 1995.

In his career, Mpetshi Perricard has a 50-33 record in Challenger events, winning titles in Leon, Nottingham, Cuernavaca, and Acapulco. He reached the number 4 spot in the junior rankings in 2021, with a semifinal appearance in the Roland Garros boys’ singles and a boys’ doubles title with Fils.

Mpetshi Perricard is looking for his second ATP Tour final after winning the Lyon title earlier this year. He has a 3-1 record against top 20 players in his career. If both Mpetshi Perricard and Fils reach the Basel final, it would be the second all-French final of the season after Tokyo, where Fils defeated Humbert. He currently holds the 44th spot in the PIF ATP Live Rankings and would rise to number 37 with a semifinal win.

Some other notable players who made significant jumps in the top 50 rankings from the end of 2023 to October 21 are Shang Juncheng, Brandon Nakashima, Luciano Darderi, and Mariano Navone.
