Steve Johnson, currently ranked 246, is known for his solid performances on indoor hardcourts, as highlighted by his recent straight sets win against Timo Stodder. His record in 2024 so far is 1-0 on indoor hardcourts.

Johnson demonstrated his aggressive playstyle against Stodder, scoring 25 winners and maintaining a high efficiency on his serve, winning 89% of his points on the first serve and 61% on the second serve.

Terence Atmane, ranked 144, has shown his capabilities with a recent victory over Thai-Son Kwiatkowski. Atmane's record in 2024 stands at 5-2, with 1-0 on indoor hard courts.

In his match against Kwiatkowski, Atmane displayed his powerful serve, recording 12 aces and winning 84% of his points on the first serve and 65% on the second serve.

Both players have played one match each in the tournament so far, with Atmane spending more time on the court. With Atmane's slightly longer match history in the tournament, it will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out against Johnson’s aggressive and efficient style.
