Alexander Bublik, known for his flashy play and unpredictable shot-making, has had some notable career highlights.

Duckworth also reached his first Grand Slam third round at Wimbledon and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at Paris in the same year. Despite facing multiple injuries that required surgeries, Duckworth has shown resilience and determination to continue competing at the highest level, following in the footsteps of his grandmother, Beryl Penrose, who was a champion in her own right.
