ATP Kitzbuhel Players 2020
The Generali Open has mustered an extraordinarily strong entry list for 2020, with defending champion and world no. 3 Dominic Thiem joined by fellow top-10 players Alexander Zverev and Matteo Berrettini as well as clay-court champions like Fabio Fognini and Diego Schwartzman.
Because of the uncertainty around the upcoming US swing, however, it will probably be the case that many of the players on the entry list will not actually compete in Kitzbuhel because they will still be in the USA – the Generali Open in 2020 takes place during the second week of the US Open.
Here are some of the top players who are currently entered for the Kitzbuhel Open in 2020 – we’ll keep updating this list as information becomes available.
Dominic Thiem
There’s no question who the star attraction will be in Kitzbuhel. Not only is Thiem the world no. 3 and the hot favourite to be the next new men’s Grand Slam champion in singles after runner-up finishes at the French Open and Australian Open in 2018-20, Thiem became Austria’s first homegrown Generali Open champion since Thomas Muster in 1993 when he claimed the title in 2019.
Thiem also starred in an elite exhibition event called ‘Thiem’s 7’ at the Tennis Stadium Kitzbuhel during the lockdown.
Alexander Zverev
World no. 7 Zverev has won five of his 11 career titles on clay including the Madrid Masters and will be looking for his first match wins in Kitzbuhel, having lost his opening match to Diego Schwartzman on his only previous appearance.
Matteo Berrettini
Italy’s Berrettini shot up the rankings in 2018-19 as he won three titles (two on clay), reached the semifinals of the US Open last September and succeeded in qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals.
Sidelined by injury early in 2020, the world no. 8 will be looking to come back strong as he makes his second appearance in Kitzbuhel, having reached the quarterfinals of the Generali Open in 2018.
Fabio Fognini
Eight of Fognini’s nine ATP career titles have come on clay, including his Masters 1000 Series victory in Monte Carlo in 2019. The world no. 11 will be making his fifth appearance in Kitzbuhel, having had his best result in 2017 when he lost to Philipp Kohlschreiber in the semifinals.
Roberto Bautista Agut
Spain’s underrated Bautista Agut was 9-3 in 2020 before the shutdown and played a crucial role in his country’s victory in the Davis Cup Finals at the end of 2019.
The majority of Bautista Agut’s nine ATP Tour career titles have come on clay but he is a danger on all surfaces as he demonstrated when he made the Wimbledon semifinals last year. He will be making his Generali Open debut in 2020.
Diego Schwartzman
Affectionately nicknamed ‘Peque’ for his relatively diminutive stature, 27-year-old Schwartzman is a three-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist and has ranked as high as world no. 11. Two of his three ATP Tour titles have come on clay. He will be returning to the Generali Open for the first time since 2015 – and will be aiming to win back-to-back matches there for the first time.

About the Kitzbuhel Open
The tournament currently known as the Generali Open has had many names over the years, which is not surprising for a tournament which can trace its history back to 1894.
Throughout the years it has continually been played in the medieval town of Kitzbuhel among the Tyrolese Alps, with the backdrop of the mountains making it one of the most picturesque spots conceivable for a tennis tournament.
Often informally referred to as the Austrian Open even during spells when that is not its official name, the tournament was known as the Austrian International Championships from 1894-1969. It has been a part of the ATP Tour since the creation of the ATP Tour, although it was downgraded to Challenger status for one year in 2010. Since 2011, it has been an ATP 250 tournament.
The Generali Open is currently played in late July, taking place in the return to European clay after the grass-court season. Its position in the calendar between Wimbledon and the US Open Series has not prevented it from attracting top players, with Juan Martin del Potro, David Goffin, Philipp Kohlschreiber and Dominic Thiem among its champions in recent years. Thiem, a runner-up to Goffin in 2014, became Kitzbuhel’s first home-grown champion since Thomas Muster (1993) when he claimed the title in 2019, defeating Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the final.
Kitzbuhel is a 250-level event featuring a 28-player singles draw and offering €586,140 in prize money in 2019, as well as 250 ranking points for the champion.
