Stockholm Open
The Stockholm Open 2026 runs from 8 to 14 November at the Royal Tennis Hall, and Casper Ruud is back to defend the title in the last event of his season. Taylor Fritz, Ruud and Lorenzo Musetti are the top three seeds, and there is British interest from Cameron Norrie and the qualifier Toby Samuel.

Ruud Defends
Ruud won Stockholm for the first time in 2025, beating Ugo Humbert 6-2, 6-3 in the final to become the first Norwegian champion here. He arrives from a semi-final in Paris, where he beat the No. 9 seed Rafael Jódar before losing to Alcaraz, and he has said this is the last event of his season. David Ferrer joins his coaching team in 2027. As the No. 2 seed he has a bye and plays Luca Van Assche, a Paris semi-finalist himself, or the qualifier Andrii Shevchenko. Humbert, last year’s runner-up, is the No. 7 seed.
Fritz and Musetti
Fritz is the top seed a few days after missing the ATP Finals: he held two match points against Alcaraz in the Paris quarter-finals and lost, and finished 11th in the Race to Turin. He starts in the second round against Norrie or Duckworth. Musetti, the No. 3 seed, beat the world No. 1 Alexander Zverev in Paris before losing to Van Assche, and he won the Lyon title in October.
British Interest
Norrie plays the Australian James Duckworth in the first round on Monday 9 November, with Fritz waiting in the second. Samuel came through qualifying with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Adrian Mannarino and plays the Swedish wildcard Leo Borg, son of the five-time Wimbledon champion Björn Borg, on Monday evening. The winner plays Musetti. Jacob Fearnley lost 6-2, 6-4 to Shevchenko in the final round of qualifying.
