The organization of the European Open, the ATP 250 tournament in Antwerp, unveiled on Tuesday the names of the main participants in the tournament, which will be played from October 17 to 24 at the Lotto Arena. Organizers have confirmed the presence of Andy Murray, winner in 2019, and seven top 20 players.
After announcing the presence of Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (ATP 29) and Italian Jannik Sinner (ATP 14), the organizers of the Antwerp tournament have confirmed the presence of Andy Murray, winner of the tournament in 2019. Murray, double winner of Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and the US Open in 2012, is a big name in world tennis. Since 2017, he has suffered from numerous hip problems that have dropped him to the 113th in the world.
In addition to Jannik Sinner, six other top 20 players have also confirmed their participation with Félix Auger-Aliassime (ATP 11), Diego Schwartzman (ATP 15), Pablo Carreño Busta (ATP 16), Cristian Garin (ATP 17), Roberto Bautista Agut (ATP 18) and Reilly Opelka (ATP 19). Ugo Humbert, 26th in the world and defending champion, will also be present.
“There will be a lot of competition to win, because the field is even stronger than all the previous editions. We have 7 players from the top 20 and it’s really exceptional! ”, Said Dick Norman, the tournament director. We are growing year by year and we feel that more and more players of absolute world level want to be present in Antwerp. Once again, we have succeeded in bringing a mix of promising local talent and world-class players to the Lotto Arena.”
