Gregoire Barrere has been in average form and he will be motivated to have a change of fortune in his second tournament of the new year. He got knocked out of the Adelaide International 1 right in the qualifiers round to Hijikata. He lost to Arnaldi in the Italian Challenger Bergamo in the round of 32 stage. He won the French Challenger Brest before that which will give him much-needed confidence. Despite that, he has made it from the qualifying rounds having beaten Coria and Lazarov in the ongoing ASB Classic, and will look to extend that massive run of form.
John Isner also hasn’t been in great form recently and looks to start the year on a high. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Rublev in the Paris Masters in the round of 32 stage after beating Otte in the first round. In the Cinncinati Masters, he was looking really bright but ultimately lost to Tsitipas in the quarter-finals having beaten the likes of Korda, Hurkac, and Bonzi on the way. In the US Open, he had to withdraw in the second-round matchup against Rune due to injury after having won the first match comfortably against Delbonis.
