Buse, ranked 36th in the ATP world rankings, reached the round of 16 after securing a hard-fought victory against Australia's Adam Walton in the previous round.
The Peruvian won his opening match 6-2, 5-7, 6-3, gaining revenge against Walton after the Australian had eliminated him at the Cincinnati Masters 1000. Buse is aiming to progress further in the American tournament to reach peak physical form ahead of the US Open, the final Grand Slam event of the year.
Altmaier, ranked 57th in the ATP standings, earned his place in the last 16 by overcoming Argentina's Francisco Comesaña in straight sets, winning 6-1, 7-6 (8-6).

Wednesday's match will be the second meeting between Buse and Altmaier on the professional tour. Their only previous clash took place in 2025 at the Cancún Challenger tournament in Mexico, where Buse defeated the German player.
