2024 Bastad Open Entry List headlined by Rafael Nadal, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud (Update - 12-07)
ATPFriday, 12 July 2024 at 10:58
The Entry List has been confirmed ahead of the 2024 Bastad
Open, which will take place between 15-21 July, featuring a stellar draw led by
Rafael Nadal, Andrey Rublev, and Casper Ruud. The tournament, played on clay
right after Wimbledon, will see several players taking the opportunity to
compete on clay before the Olympics.
It will be a competitive field for an ATP 250, with three
top-10 players and the 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal among the
competitors. The Spaniard received a wildcard and this will be his first
tournament since his early exit in the first round of the French Open.
Nadal, Rublev, and Ruud among top competitors
The favourite for the title was set to be world No. 1 Jannik
Sinner, returning to an ATP 250 after his win at the Libema Open in
s'Hertogenbosch. But the Italian decided to withdraw ahead of the tournament after a poor Wimbledon.
The top seed now is world No. 6 Andrey Rublev, who seeks to
defend his 2023 title. Recently, the Russian Tennis Federation confirmed that
Rublev will miss the Olympics, choosing to use that time to recover physically
before the hard-court swing after Paris 2024.
Another title contender is the 2021 champion and 2023
runner-up Casper Ruud. The world No. 8 aims to quickly find his rhythm on clay
and be in top form for Paris, where he is a strong medal contender. Similarly,
Rafael Nadal will also be present in Bastad, the only tournament he will play
before the Olympics after deciding to skip the grass swing to avoid surface
changes.
The draw also includes players like Tallon Griekspoor (No.
27), Mariano Navone (No. 29) and Cameron Norrie (No. 39) with Kei Nishikori recently withdrawing.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026
- Clearly not AI :-)
AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026
- WOW !!! Her comebacks have been intense. She's Baaaaack!
mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
- Here we go again…. Different rules for Americans! Especially THESE Americans. Yuck!DaveyWavey07-09-2026
