Shapovalov, currently ranked World No. 54, has had a successful career, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 10. In 2025, he has a record of 5-3, including reaching the semifinals of the Dallas tournament. In 2020, Shapovalov became the first Canadian men’s singles quarter-finalist at the US Open and joined Milos Raonic as the second Canadian man to break into the Top 10. He also achieved his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon in 2021, defeating two-time champion Andy Murray along the way. Shapovalov has reached the final of the Paris tournament in 2019 and four other ATP Masters 1000 semifinals, including the 2017 Montreal tournament where he became the youngest semifinalist in history at the age of 18.

Tommy Paul, currently ranked World No. 9, achieved his career-high ranking in January 2025. He had an impressive 2024 season with a personal-best 45 wins, which included winning the London/Queen’s Club tournament, one of four ATP Tour titles he has won in his career.

Paul, on the other hand, is looking to reach his eighth ATP Tour final. He has a 4-3 record in finals and has been particularly successful on indoor hard courts, winning titles in Stockholm in 2021 and 2024, as well as in Dallas in the previous year.
