Alcaraz, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Fils, and Wawrinka: Tuesday's Big Lineup in Barcelona
As every year, the ATP 500 in Barcelona boasts a strong field, despite its proximity to the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000.
After a Monday that saw victories from Holger Rune and Andrey Rublev, the schedule will be packed tomorrow on the Spanish courts.
On the Pista Rafa Nadal, starting at 11 a.m., Stefanos Tsitsipas, last year’s runner-up, will begin his tournament against Reilly Opelka. He will be followed by defending champion Casper Ruud taking on Daniel Galan.
Not before 4:30 p.m., Carlos Alcaraz, fresh off his Monte-Carlo triumph, will make his debut against qualifier Ethan Quinn. Finally, Stan Wawrinka, a wildcard entry, will face Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to close out the day’s action on the center court.
The matches promise to be just as exciting on the Pista Andres Gemeno: Arthur Fils will play against Pablo Carreno Busta, Alex De Minaur will take on clay-court specialist Tomas Etcheverry, Frances Tiafoe will challenge Jaume Munar, and Karen Khachanov will meet Cameron Norrie.
