After reaching the third round of the 2026 Australian Open, Gea earned his second top-100 win of the season after his opponent, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, retired following a freak eye injury in the first set. Gea capitalized on the situation to take the first set 6-3. Perricard received a medical timeout in an attempt to treat the injury, but he eventually decided to quit from the match to prevent aggravating the injury. Ranked No.168th in the world, Gea holds a 10-1 record on the 2026 ATP season.

Machac received a bye into the second round of this ATP 250 event after securing the No.3 seed. The No.28-ranked Czech reached the third round of the 2026 Australian Open, where he lost to Lorenzo Musetti 7-5, 4-6, 2-6, 7-5, 2-6 in five sets. Machac is 7-2 on the 2026 ATP season, in which he averages 7.6 aces per match and wins 71.6 percent of his first serves.
