Kitzbuhel Open Draw

The tournament suffered two important withdrawals in recent days. Following his defeat at the Bastad Open, world No. 9 Casper Ruud decided to skip this week of competition to prepare for the Olympics without any distractions. Additionally, Chilean Nicolas Jarry is also focusing on Paris 2024 after an ear infection that has complicated his last month, prompting him to withdraw from Kitzbuhel as well.
