The draw for the 2023 Hamburg Open has been released, and the ATP 500 tournament, held from July 24th to 30th, promises to deliver some high-quality clay-court action.
As the first ATP 500 clay-court tournament after the third major of the season, the 2023 Hamburg European Open gives a chance to clay-court specialists that want to show their qualities and earn some valuable ranking points along with prize money.
Last year, Lorenzo Musetti won his first ATP title when he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the final, and while the young Spaniard competes at the Hopman Cup, the defending champion will be present in Hamburg, Germany, defending his title as the third seed.
In the first round of the tournament, Musetti will start against a qualifier in the first round of the tournament. Although the World No. 1 will be absent from this year's event, the defending champion will face a tough competition.
The top seed at the tournament is Casper Ruud, who is doing well in Bastad, and his schedule will be packed with another tournament right after. The first-seeded Norwegian will start against a dangerous clay-court player, Sebastian Baez.
Another player that will share the journey from Bastad to Hamburg with Ruud is Andrey Rublev. The Russian is also a semifinalist at the event in Sweden, and as the second seed in Hamburg, he will start against Bernabe Zapata Miralles.
On his way to the semifinals, Rublev defeated his good friend Alexander Zverev, and the German will be the home-crowd favourite in Hamburg. As the fourth seed in the tournament, he will begin against Alex Molcan.
