Draw for the ATP 250 Tournament in Kitzbühel: Bublik, Baez, and Bautista Agut in the Spotlight, Cazaux Faces Buse in the First Round

Some ATP players will head to Austria next week to compete in the ATP 250 tournament in Kitzbühel. Defending champion Matteo Berrettini withdrew in recent days, as did Laslo Djere and Marin Cilic.

As a result, Alexander Bublik is the top seed. The Kazakh, who will play in the semifinals in Gstaad against Arthur Cazaux this Saturday, will enter the competition in the round of 16 against Jaime Faria or Thiago Agustin Tirante.

Roberto Bautista Agut, also exempt from the first round, will play his opening match against Thiago Seyboth Wild or Justin Engel, while Botic van de Zandschulp will face Nicolás Jarry. The winner of this clash could potentially meet Tomás Martín Etcheverry, should the Argentine overcome Filip Misolic.

In a duel between this week’s Gstaad semifinalists, Arthur Cazaux—one of three French players in the draw—will take on Peruvian player Ignacio Buse, who this week secured his first three ATP tour-level wins.

Arthur Rinderknech will face a qualifier, as will Hugo Gaston, the defending finalist. The two Frenchmen could meet in the round of 16. Sebastian Baez, the tournament winner two years ago, will play against Lukas Neumayer or a qualifier.
