From sunny Australia to the indoor courts of Rotterdam, the
ATP Tour is traversing across the globe to the Netherlands with the
ABN AMRO
Open set to commence from February 9-15.
It is a very strong lineup in the ATP 500 event despite some
high calibre absentees. The reigning champion and world number one Carlos
Alcaraz was looking to do the double, but after clinching his first Australian
Open title he has
opted to skip the event with the sensible mindset to recover
ahead of the rest of the campaign.
The same goes for Alexander Zverev, who was defeated by the
Spaniard in a gruelling semi-final in Melbourne. The inform German also leaves
a big hole in the tournament, with many players ready to capitalise in it.
This includes
Alex de Minaur, who is now the number one seed
and questionably the favourite for the title. The Aussie has started the season
on great form and has prior experiences of success in Rotterdam, having reached
the final last year in three sets. He also lost out at the final hurdle in 2024,
that time to Jannik Sinner.
The challengers for the crown are strong, with indoor
hardcourt specialist
Felix Auger-Aliassime in within a shout at glory after a
rough start to 2026. He has tasted the glory of triumphing in this event
before, winning in 2022. In comparison,
Alexander Bublik got off to a flyer by
clinching the Hong Kong Open title. If he can continue his marvellous form, then
it could be hard to stop the Kazakh.
The same could be said for Jack Draper. The former world number
four is the highest ranked player outside the top 10 in this event, competing in
his first tournament since the US Open with his arm injury finally healing
enough for his to step back on court.
Another former champion, Daniil Medvedev, is the number one
Russian competing, just ahead of Karen Khachanov with Tallon Griekspoor and
Arthur Rinderknech completing the top eight in Rotterdam. 2022 runner-up
Stefanos Tsitsipas looks to get back to his best form while Arthur Fils
continues his comeback to the sport after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
