Alexandr Shevchenko, ranked 77th from Kazakhstan, competes on clay at Munich against lower-ranked opponent Dedura. The Kazakh player has mixed recent form, including losses to Marko Cilic and Botic Van de Zandschulp but victories over Roberto Bautista Agut and Radu Daniil Turcanu in his last five matches. This marks the first career meeting between Shevchenko and Dedura with no prior head-to-head history.

Dominik Dedura, ranked 258th from Germany, faces Kazakhstan's Shevchenko in this Munich clay-court encounter as the lower-seeded player. The German player's recent record shows three losses against Romain Safiullin, Diego Blanch, and Tomas Alejandro Tirante, offset by wins over Agustin Meneses Perny and Ivan Lopez Martos across his last five outings. Dedura seeks his first win against Shevchenko, as the players have no established head-to-head record.
