In a year where Alexander Bublik has gone from bad to worse, the Kazakh has a golden opportunity to get back on track to victory and also add another title. And what better place than a location he already conquered last year, the ATP 250 Kitzbuhel, which was his second trophy obtained on clay.

Bublik will arrive in Austria after failing to defend his champion title at ATP Gstaad, where he fell in the first round to Quentyn Halys (6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(5)). Therefore, he will strive to ensure the same doesn't happen in Kitzbuhel, where he will debut against Facundo Díaz Acosta or a player from the qualifying rounds.

These are the main seedings for ATP Kitzbuhel 2026

The second seed will be Valentin Vacherot, while the third seed will be Arthur Rinderknech and Tomás Martín Etcheverry as the number four seed. Unlike the ATP Estoril played in the same week, there will be no Spanish presence in this tournament.

Other names to watch out for in the Austrian tournament will include the clay specialist Sebastián Báez, who will debut against Miomir Kecmanovic. Ignacio Buse will have the chance to claim his second ATP title on clay and is seeded fifth, although he faces a tough debut against Vit Kopriva. Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, quarterfinalist at Roland Garros and conqueror of Jannik Sinner, will be the eighth seed and comes after falling in the ATP Gstaad semifinals.

Mariano Nanove, champion of ATP Bucharest last April, will also have a great opportunity to add another title. The Argentine will debut against Alexander Muller and could face the winner of the match between Alexander Shevchenko and Jen-Lennard Struff.
