Staksrud Leads the Field
Federico Staksrud, the No. 1 men’s doubles player and recent Masters champion, is the top seed in the men’s singles draw. As the favorite, he will face tough challenges from other top players such as Connor Garnett (No. 2 seed) and Hunter Johnson (No. 3 seed), both of whom have consistently delivered strong performances in recent events.
Sibling Rivalry on the Horizon
A potential highlight of the tournament could be a high-stakes showdown between twin brothers Hunter and Yates Johnson.
Their match would bring added excitement and drama, with both players eager to make their mark in singles competition.
