After a brief stint on grass, European tennis shifts back to clay and Casper Ruud will be happy about it as he's back in Bastad to defend the trophy won last year.
Casper Ruud won 3 titles on clay in three consecutive weeks last year and he's going to try and do that again with the first event being that in Bastad. He's the top seed but he will face a lot of competition from many good players such as Andrey Rublev who struggled on the grass and missed Wimbledon. Other solid players include Schwartzman, Bautista Agut, and Carreno Busta.
Holger Rune will add a certain Danish flavour to the event and as well as Stan Wawrinka who will also play at the event. Overall five of the top 20 players are here and that's fairly good for an ATP 250 event. Check out who will play at the event.
