Etcheverr played only one match in 2024 and was weaker than the Czech player Machac at a tournament in Brisbane. The match against Machac lasted almost three hours. Etcheverr won the first game in a tie-break but lost the next two games 5:7 and 6:7. During the match, the Argentine served 6 aces with two double faults and won 72% of the points on his first serve and 50% on his second. Return statistics: 19%/49%.

Alexander also played in the tournament in Brisbane, but he played two games. In two sets, Shevchenko was stronger than Luca Van Assche but lost in three sets to Holger Rune, the eighth-ranked player in the world and the future finalist of the draw. The score was 4:6, 7:5, 2:6, and the match lasted two hours and 29 minutes. Shevchenko made five aces and two double faults during the game against the Dane, winning 73% of the points on the first serve and 50% on the second. Shevchenko's statistics on return are 25%/35%, and winners/unforced errors statistic is 27/15. The Russian has started the year in perfect form.

Etcheverr is ranked higher in the ATP, but the bookmakers see Shevchenko as the favorite for the upcoming match. Alexander played at a reasonable level last week in Brisbane, where he defeated the young and promising Luca Van Assche in straight sets and took a set from the ATP's top ten representatives, Holger Rune. On the other hand, the Argentine only lost to the 78th-ranked player in the world, Czech Machac, who is far from being a top player. So we see Shevchenko as the favorite of the upcoming match and agree with the bookmakers.
