The Sofia Open is back in 2021 with its ATP 250 event running from September 27th till October 3rd with Sinner, Monfils and De Minaur.
One week before the ATP Indian Wells Masters begins we will have another ATP 250 event with a very strong field. The ATP Sofia Open is back in 2021 after being held in the final calendar week last year. The event proved popular among local tennis fans and drew some strong tennis players including Jannik Sinner who won his maiden trophy here.
Since then the Italian has won two more and he will be back here to try and defend his title. Besides Sinner, we will also see other top players including last year's finalist Vasek Pospisil, Gael Monfils, Alexander Bublik, Lorenzo Musetti, Ilya Ivashka and many more. The field is a lot stronger than last year and it should prove to be a very good event. Sinner is the top seed and he will have 1st round BYE with Pospisil possibly waiting in round 2.
2nd seed Gael Monfils also has a 1st round BYEwith Ivashka or Andujar waiting in R2. Down the line, he might face compatriot Adrian Mannarino. Some interesting 1st round matches include Munar against Giron, Djere against native Lazarov, Musetti against another native Kuzmanov.
The best matches in R1 will be between Davidovich Fokina and Benoit Paire which should be fireworks as well as Ruusuvuori against Duckworth with both being in strong form recently. Check out the full draw below.
