Auger-Aliassime is eighth in the live rankings and two places lower in the ATP Race.
Zhizhen Zhang lost to Auger-Aliassime in January but did win their other previous meeting in 2024 but that was played on an indoor hard court. This year has seen Zhang win eight of his 12 matches.

He's played in this tournament four times and is yet to win a match.
