Claim Welcome Bonus🇫🇷 Corentin Moutet
Currently holding a world ranking around No. 59, Corentin Moutet is doing his bit in Washington through a dream run. Initially a lucky loser who got into the main draw after Holger Rune withdrew, Moutet has not wasted time to capitalize. He went 6‑0, 6‑1 against Alexandre Müller, had the better of Dan Evans in straight sets, and came up with a huge upset over eighth seed Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals, rallying 1‑6, 6‑4, 6‑4.
This is after his runner-up finish in Mallorca earlier this year, which was an ATP-best for him since 2019. With records of maybe 27‑18 in 2025 at all levels, Moutet shows so much more confidence and consistency. His clever use of left-handed spin and variation, along with his grim determination, have won him a lot of admirers among the public and critics alike.
Moutet's social media buzzing revolves around his fearless shot-making and mental toughness under pressure. While technically the underdog, his unorthodox offensive approach and recent strong form would make him a threat to absolutely anyone on the tour.
🇦🇺 Alex de Minaur
World No. 13 Alex de Minaur takes to the Washington Open semi-final with poise and purpose. The No. 7 seed has certainly been among the most consistent players in 2024 on the ATP Tour. He has a 33-13 record in 2025, one of the highlights being the final run in Rotterdam, including the historic 6-0 6-0 demolition of Lorenzo Musetti in a Masters semi-final never witnessed before.
De Minaur entered Washington with a first-round bye and has since cruised through his matches against Bu Yunchaokete, Jiri Lehecka, and Brandon Nakashima, not conceding a single set. His game is chiefly based on very good court coverage, high first-serve percentages, and unending baseline rallies.
Nicknamed "The Demon," de Minaur has been applauded for his cool demeanor and stamina, especially on hard courts. In pre-match talks, he stated that he's confident of counteracting Moutet's variety with his own combo of pace and consistency. As de Minaur aims at bagging yet another ATP 500, he goes into this match as the odds-on favorite.
