Frances Tiafoe, aged 26, is currently ranked at number 15 in the world. He reached his career-high ranking of number 10 in June 2023, after winning his third title in Stuttgart on grass. One of his notable achievements was saving a match point against Struff in the final, which allowed him to win ATP Tour titles on all three types of surfaces.

In the 2023 season, Tiafoe joined Fritz in the Top 10 rankings, marking the first time since 2012 that two Americans were ranked in the Top 10. He also made history at the 2022 US Open by defeating the four-time champion Nadal and becoming the first American men’s semifinalist at the event since Roddick in 2006. Tiafoe played a crucial role in leading Team World to victory in the 2022 Laver Cup, partnering with Sock to defeat Federer and Nadal in the Swiss’ final match, before clinching the cup with a win over Tsitsipas. He achieved his 200th career win and reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final at the 2024 Cincinnati tournament, where he saved two match points against Rune in the semifinals. Tiafoe won his first ATP Tour title at the age of 20 at the 2018 Delray Beach tournament and remains the youngest American champion since Roddick in 2002. He also secured his second ATP Tour title at the 2023 Houston tournament.

Tiafoe comes from a family of Sierra Leonean immigrants, and his father worked as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland, where Frances and his twin brother Franklin received their tennis training. It should be noted that Tiafoe has a record of 2-8 against left-handed players in 2024, contrasting with his impressive 14-1 record in 2022-23. His lone indoor ATP Tour final appearance came in Vienna in 2021, where he qualified for the tournament and defeated Tsitsipas in the second round, only to lose to Zverev in the final.

Cameron Norrie, aged 29, is currently ranked at number 53 in the world. He broke into the Top 10 in April 2022 and achieved his career-high ranking of number 8 in September 2022, becoming the fourth British man in history to accomplish this feat, joining Henman, Murray, and Rusedski. From May 2021 to February 2023, Norrie reached 13 ATP Tour finals, with his biggest achievement being winning the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells title, making him the first British champion in the tournament’s 46-year history. He reached the fourth round, quarterfinals, and semifinals of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2022 Wimbledon tournament, where he lost to eventual champion Djokovic in four sets. Norrie had impressive wins against Nadal at the 2023 United Cup and Alcaraz in the 2023 Rio de Janeiro final, which were the biggest victories of his career.

Norrie was born in South Africa to a Scottish father and Welsh mother. He grew up in New Zealand and became the number one collegiate player in the USA while attending Texas Christian University. Since 2013, Norrie has represented Great Britain in tennis. It is worth noting that Norrie is currently seeking his first ATP Tour win since July, when he won in Bastad but lost to Nadal in the second round. He is also aiming for his first indoor win since defeating Misolic in the first round of the 2023 Vienna tournament, where he eventually lost to Zverev. In 2024, Norrie has a record of 2-7 against players in the Top 20, with both of his wins coming in January against de Minaur and Ruud at the United Cup and the Australian Open, respectively.
