Jannik Sinner will be back on the court this coming week at the ABN AMRO Open, fresh off his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
Sinner, who is the top seed in Rotterdam, headlines an impressive draw for what is the first ATP 500 tournament of the season. Rounding out the seeded contingent are Andrey Rublev, Holger Rune, Hubert Hurkacz, Alex de Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov, Ugo Humbert, and Alexander Bublik. The field also includes Gael Monfils, Borna Coric, Lorenzo Musetti, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Emil Ruusuvuori, Sebastian Korda, and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Sinner will kick off his campaign against Botic van de Zandschulp, the same opponent whom the fourth-ranked Italian defeated in round one en route to victory at Melbourne Park. Also in Sinner’s quarter of the bracket are Bublik, Monfils, Coric, and Milos Raonic. Hurkacz and Humbert are potential semifinal foes for Sinner.
Rublev, the No. 2 seed, could meet Auger-Aliassime in round two, De Minaur or Korda in the quarterfinals, and either Rune or Dimitrov in the semis.
In addition to Sinner vs. Van de Zandschulp, opening-round matches to watch in Rotterdam are Bublik vs. Coric, Humbert vs. Ruusuvuori, De Minaur vs. Korda, Hurkacz vs. Jiri Lehecka, Musetti vs. Tallon Griekspoor, and Dimitrov vs. Lorenzo Sonego.
