Entry List European Open Antwerp 2024 headlined by Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Sebastian Baez

The entry list for the European Open Antwerp has been announced, featuring Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Sebastian Baez among the top players in the draw. The tournament is set to take place from October 14-20 with a 28-player singles draw.

The tournament will begin just one day after the Shanghai Masters concludes and will feature eight seeds within the top 40. The top seed will be world No. 12 Tsitsipas, who is looking to turn around an inconsistent season.

Defending champion Alexander Bublik is not entered in the tournament and will not be able to defend his title. The world No. 27 is scheduled to compete that week at the ATP 500 Almaty Open in Kazakhstan, where he will be the main local hope as the tournament returns for the first time since 2019.

In Antwerp, several players will have the opportunity to earn crucial points at the end of the season. Tsitsipas remains in contention for a spot in the ATP Finals, currently 12th and over 500 points away from the qualifying zone. The Greek could miss the tournament for the first time since 2018 after five consecutive appearances.

Felix Auger-Aliassime will be the second seed as he seeks to regain positions in the ATP Rankings. The Canadian did not achieve deep runs during the American hard-court swing and lost ground after a strong clay-court season where he reached the final of the Madrid Masters 1000.

Argentinians Sebastian Baez (3rd), Tomas Martin Etcheverry (6th), and Mariano Navone (8th) will be among the seeds, aiming to translate their consistent clay-court results to hard courts. The seeds also include Jordan Thompson (4th), Nuno Borges (5th), and Jiri Lehecka (7th).

Other notable names in the draw include Marcos Giron, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Jakub Mensik, Juncheng Shang, Botic van de Zandschulp, and wild card Richard Gasquet, who won the inaugural edition in 2017. You can find the complete entry list for the 9th edition of the European Open below.
