Sinner, the defending champion and top seed, boasts a strong record of 73 wins against 6 losses in 2024, earning him the title of world champion by the International Tennis Federation. Meanwhile, Swiatek is on a quest for her sixth Grand Slam title, having yet to drop a set in the tournament, and will compete against Eva Lys, a lucky loser who has made history by reaching the last 16.
