Murray most recently played in the Basel Open. After defeating Roman Safiullin in the first round, the Brit failed to get past the Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in the round of 16. Last year at the Paris Masters, Murray lost in the first round against Dominik Koepfer in three sets.

The Frenchman is playing in the last tournament of his career. He will look to go out on a high. The 37-year-old has mostly played in Challenger events this season. Simon’s best result in 2022 came at the French Open, where he made it to the third round. He was ousted by the eventual semifinalist Marin Cilic.
