Richard Gasquet has not been in good form recently having lost three of the last five matches he has played. He will look to bounce back in style by picking up a win against his much-depleted opponent and building confidence that he has been lacking. He has lost against Ruud and Giron in the last two tournaments, the Paris Masters and the Adelaide International 1 respectively. He beat Alex Molcan in the round of 64 tie to face Ruud in the round of 32 stage. In the European Open, he lost to Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals after crucial victories against Goffin, Stricker, and Wawrinka on the way. He beat Kiranpal Pannu in the first-round matchup and Joao Sousa and David Goffin in the second round and third round respectively. In the semi-finals, he received a walkover to the finals from his opponent, Constant Lestienne.
Cameron Norrie 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 Giron in the Vienna Open in the second round after winning the first match against Cachín. In the next tournament which was the Paris Masters, he got knocked out right in the round of 32 stage to Moutet after the first-round victory against Kecmanović while at the Stockholm Open as he lost to Rune in the quarter-finals. In the first round, he beat Jiri Lehecka, and in the second round, he beat Marcos Giron. In the semi-finals, he beat Jenson Brooksby with the score ending 6-3, 6-4.
