Novak Djokovic
Listing Djokovic’s accomplishments and trophies become repetitive, given his status as one of the all-time greats who maintains his competitive drive. Despite being 36 years old, Djokovic is viewed as the top contender in this major tournament. His journey began with a challenging four-hour battle against young Croatian Prajnesh Gunneswaran in the first round, where Djokovic eventually secured victory in four sets. A similar effort was exerted in the second round against Australian Alexei Popyrin. While Djokovic currently holds the world’s number-one ranking, his stamina may be put to the test if he continues facing such tough competition on his way to the final.
Thomas Martin Etcheverry
The relatively lesser-known young Argentine, at 24 years old, can be described as a daring player in the mid-tier, presently ranked 32nd in the world. Djokovic happens to be one of Etcheverry’s idols. In this tournament, he impressively defeated two seasoned veterans, Andy Murray and Gaël Monfils, both times requiring three sets and establishing himself as a slight underdog in these matchups.
Head-to-head History
Djokovic and Etcheverry have faced each other twice, with both encounters taking place last year and concluding with Djokovic securing victories in straight sets.
