For Casper, the Estoril tournament is the first clay tournament of the season. In general, we note that Kasper had a poor start in 2023 and only thanks to the successes of the past year does he remain in fifth position in the ATP ranking. Prior to Estoril, Ruud played with two champions in Indian Wells and Miami, both unsuccessful for Scandinavia. In Portugal, the Norwegian played one match with local player Souza, the fight lasted two hours and 15 minutes, Ruud won it with a score of 2:1 (4:6, 6:2, 6:2). The Norwegian hit two double faults four times during the match, scoring 69% on the first serve and 64% on the second. At the reception, Casper had the following stats: 44% / 49%.

Unlike Kasper Ruud, for Baes the tournament in Estoril is far from the first unmade tournament of the season. Earlier, the Argentine played a number of competitions in South America, and in Portugal Baes spent not one match, but two, knocking out Albot and his compatriot Kachin from the draw. The match against Kachin turned out to be a 2-set, but in the second set the guys played a tie-break. Baez didn’t make a single double fault during the game. He won 58% on the first serve and 62% on the second. Acceptance statistics: 36% / 73%.
