Hong Kong Open ATP 2026: Schedule, Entry List, Draw and Predictions

The 2026 Hong Kong Open is due to take place between 5-11 January to start the year on a week that also sees the United Cup, ASB Classic and Brisbane International take place in Australia and New Zealand.

Alexandre Muller is defending champion after taking down Kei Nishikori 2-6, 6-1, 6-3 in the final. The Frenchman returns again to defend his title this time around. Lorenzo Musetti fresh off his best ever season is top seed as World No.8.

World No.11 Alexander Bublik is second seed while Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov are also involved. Also Lorenzo Sonego, Arthur Fils, Gabriel Diallo are in the field. Juncheng Shang, Coleman Wong and Yibing Wu have received wildcards.

The draw will be confirmed in the New Year before the start of the tournament on January 4. Likely on January 1-3. It will be updated here when it is confirmed.

The schedule will be confirmed on January 2-3 before the tournament starts on January 4. The tournament centre will be updated with the schedule as and when.

Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate sees Alexander Bublik as the champion in Hong Kong.

Andrey Rublev has often shone in Hong Kong before and I see that he will have a good week here to start the year. Lorenzo Musetti I also see as having a good week and being a potential champion.

Alexander Bublik though for me will be the big winner in Hong Kong. He won multiple titles on multiple surfaces in 2025 on clay, hard and grass and will look to start another year towards the top 10. See him as the champion.

Cristhian Avila, Editor for TennisUpToDate also sees Alexander Bublik as the main favourite for the title alongside Karen Khachanov.

The first week of competition is underway, and the ability to quickly establish a high rhythm will be key, allowing the most experienced players to take advantage. The second seed Bublik is my favorite for the title, along with what Karen Khachanov might achieve in an instance where experience and hierarchy can make a big difference.

In the case of Musetti and Rublev, although they are among the names of highest hierarchy, I believe they will still need a few weeks before being seen in their best form. Possible surprises for the tournament include the Canadian Gabriel Diallo and the local wild card Coleman Wong.
