Thomaz Bellucci is a newcomer to professional tennis tournaments having not played a single pro competition before this one. At the Szczecin Challenger, he couldn’t go past the qualifying stage losing to Molleker and the same was the result at the Toulouse Challenger where he was defeated by Jaziri at the same stage. He also lost the Banja Luka Challenger at the same stage to Neuchrist and at the Cassis Open Provence at the round of 32 stage to Moriya.
Sebastian Baez has been a huge name for the last few years but the results have not done justice to his reputation at well recently. Despite his massive victory recently at the Cordoba Open, where he beat Coria in the final and on the way outside opponents such as Dellien, Barrios Vera, and Darderis, he has not made it out of the first round in the majority of the tournaments. Like at the Australian Open, where he lost to Kubler, at the Argentina Open to Lajovic, and also at the Maharashtra Open to Martinez. The same was the case at the Paris Masters and the ASB Classic, where he lost to Khachanov and Shelton respectively in the opening round itself.
