Carreno Busta's year so far

This year, Busta only managed to reach the round of 32 at the Cincinnati Open, where he was defeated by Karen Khachanov. He made a quarter-final appearance at the Adelaide Open and a third-round appearance at the Australian Open. His best performance this year as a singles player came at the ATP Rotterdam tournament, where he was a semi-finalist. He eventually lost to Felix Auger Aliassime.

Apart from his round 1 match against Japan's Y. Uchiyama which went on for five sets, the Spaniard has had a smooth run at US Open 2020. He hasn't dropped a set since that match. His promotion to the quarter-finals came under unique circumstances after top seed Novak Djokovic was disqualified for accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a stray ball. Carreno Busta leads the head to head record 4-1. Their head to head on hardcourts is 3-0 in favour of Busta.

Shapovalov's run in US Open 2020 so far

Shapovalov has had a great run at the US Open this year, defeating Sebastian Korda, S. Kwon, Taylor Fritz, and seventh seed David Goffin to reach his maiden Grand Slam QF. Despite being seeded 13th at the Australian Open this year, Shapovalov crashed out in the first round. At the Cincinnati Masters, he only managed to reach the round of 32, losing to Germany's J. Struff in three sets. His best performances this year were at the ATP Cup in January, the ASB Classic and the Open 13, reaching the quarterfinals in all three. He has never defeated Busta on hardcourt.
