Tsitsipas has reached the semi-finals of six Grand Slam tournaments, with notable runs at the 2021 Roland Garros and 2023 Australian Open where he reached the finals but lost to Djokovic both times. He has also won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals at the age of 20 and the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals at the age of 21, becoming the youngest champion of the latter since Hewitt in 2001. Tsitsipas has a total of 12 ATP Tour titles, including three ATP Masters 1000 titles in Monte-Carlo (2021, 2022, 2024) and his first ATP 500 title in Dubai in 2025. Notably, he has defeated Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal before turning 21, making him the youngest of 30 players to do so. Tsitsipas has a strong history in Barcelona, making his seventh consecutive appearance and reaching the final in four of the previous six editions. He has a 14-1 record against players outside the top 20 at the event, with his only loss coming against No. 51 Struff in the 2019 third round.

Sebastian Korda, 24 years old and currently ranked No. 24 in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 15 in August 2024. He made ATP Masters 1000 semi-final appearances by defeating No. 3 Medvedev at the 2023 Shanghai tournament and No. 4 Zverev at the 2024 Montreal tournament. Korda has had significant achievements in his career, such as winning the 2021 Parma title without dropping a set and capturing the 2024 Washington title, 32 years after his father Petr won the same tournament in 1992. He has also reached the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2020 as a qualifier and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2021, becoming the third men’s player in the Open Era to do so in their debut at both events, following Borg in 1973 and Pernfors in 1986.

Korda has a 4-1 record against top 20 players since August, including a win over Tsitsipas when they met in the ATP Masters 1000 Miami third round in March (he lost to Djokovic in the quarter-finals). He will be aiming to advance to his 26th tour-level quarter-final, his third on clay after the 2021 Parma tournament (where he defeated Cecchinato in the final) and the 2022 Estoril tournament (where he lost to Tiafoe in the semi-finals).
In terms of their head-to-head record, the series is tied at 1-1, with Tsitsipas winning in Cincinnati and Korda winning in Miami.
