Jannik Sinner, 23 years old and currently ranked World No. 1, has had a successful career. He started 2018 unranked but ended 2020 as the No. 1 teenager. At age 20, he broke into the Top 10 in 2021 and became the first Italian World No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history at age 22 in June 2024. In 2024, he has a record of 57-5 with six titles, including the 2024 Australian Open and US Open. He defeated Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinals and rallied from two sets down in the final against Medvedev to win his first Grand Slam title. He also became the first Italian champion in Australian Open history and the second Italian man to win a Grand Slam title in the Open Era. Sinner’s achievements include winning the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 title in Toronto, reaching the semifinals of the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals and the championship match of the 2023 Davis Cup.

Sinner is currently on a 13-match winning streak after capturing titles at ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati and US Open. He is looking for his 32nd tour-level semifinal and 10th of 2024. He aims to achieve his 50th consecutive win against players ranked outside the Top 20 and become the first World No. 1 to reach the Beijing semifinals since Nadal in 2017.

Jiri Lehecka, 22 years old and currently ranked World No. 37, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 23 in January 2024 after winning his first ATP Tour title in Adelaide. He has had notable victories over higher-ranked players, including Rublev, Medvedev, Norrie, and Auger-Aliassime. Lehecka is seeking his sixth ATP Tour semifinal, the third above the ATP 250 level, and his 50th hard court win. He is aiming to become the lowest-ranked player to defeat Sinner since Lajovic (No. 66) in the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati.

Several Czech players have defeated World No. 1 players since 2012, including Tomas Machac, Jiri Vesely, and Tomas Berdych. Lehecka hopes to add his name to this list by defeating Sinner.
