3 players from the Top 20, a former Grand Slam champion and a rising Next Gen talent – the EFG Swiss Open Gtsaad 2026 field leaves nothing to be desired.
The EFG Swiss Open Gstaad 2026 entry list is out — Wawrinka, Bublik, Ruud and Vacherot will headline the tournament in the Bernese Oberland. The official draw has just been confirmed, and tennis fans have every reason to be excited about an exceptional lineup.
The field is led by defending champion and world number 11, Alexander Bublik. The fiery Kazakh made history here last year, claiming his first ATP title on clay. The magic of lifting the trophy at the Roy Emerson Arena is something two players know all too well, having already raised the granite trophy twice each: Norwegian Casper Ruud (ATP 14), winner in 2021 and 2022 and second seed in this year’s draw, and Italian Matteo Berrettini (ATP 49), who has won a special place in the hearts of Gstaad fans with his victories in 2018 and 2024. Charismatic Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, semi-finalist in 2024 (ATP 80), also makes his return to the Saanenland.
Stan the Man and the swiss players
One of the standout moments of the tournament week will be Swiss Day on Tuesday 14 July. On this day, Swiss tennis takes centre stage with a strong home contingent. The stands will be electric when Stan Wawrinka steps onto the clay for the 14th and final time in Gstaad. In his honour, a legendary farewell celebration alongside fans and musician Bastian Baker is scheduled for the first tournament Sunday. Alongside him, further Swiss talents will be given their chance to shine on home soil, courtesy of wild cards given by the organisers. The full Swiss lineup will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Ten players from the top 50
The EFG Swiss Open Gstaad 2026 draw promises to be particularly strong, featuring the likes of Peruvian Ignacio Buse (ATP 35), who recently claimed his first ATP title on clay in Hamburg, Argentine Juan Manuel Cerundolo (ATP 45), who following his Challenger title in Bordeaux went on to defeat world number 1 Jannik Sinner at Roland-Garros, and Monégasque Valentin Vacherot, winner of the Shanghai Masters 1000 in 2025.
La Next Gen à Gstaad
These established names will be pushed hard by the Next Gen, led by 20-year-old Austrian Joel Schwärzler, who has already made his mark this season by lifting the Challenger title in Rwanda.
