McCabe competed in the Guangzhou Challenger last week, where he only made it past the opening lap before losing to Federico Gomez. On outdoor hard courts this season, James has a 36-19 record.
Professional qualities
McCabe, who is only 20 years old, started his professional career in 2021 and is currently ranked 346th. He mainly plays challengers, but sometimes gets a chance to show himself in major tournaments. It is difficult to single out the strengths of the young Australian, but it is worth noting his ability to move quickly around the court.

McDonald spent the previous week playing Davis Cup, where he played one match - Mackenzie beat Lukasz Klein in two sets. On open hard courts, the American has four wins and eight losses this season.
Professional qualities
McDonald plays to his strengths on fast courts, playing flat and powerfully from both ends. The American often comes to the net, including after-serve, which confuses opponents.

Three of MacDonald's last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and MacKenzie's upcoming matchup with McCabe is likely to start with a low first set as well.
