Preview
In 1915, the first competition was held at the Gstaad Palace Hotel, which was called the Royal Hotel, Winter & Gstaad Palace at the time. The games were played on clay courts, and in the end, Victor de Coubasch was the winner. The 54th 2022 Swiss Open Gstaad is part of the ATP Tour 250 Series, which will be held at the Roy Emerson Arena in Gstaad, Switzerland, from July 18th to July 24th, 2022.
Two of the players in this year’s tournament are ranked in the top 10 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP): Matteo Berrettini, who won the tournament last year, and Casper Ruud, who won it last year and is the defending champion. Also in the finals at Wimbledon 2021 Dominic Thiem, who won the US Open in 2020, and Richard Gasquet, a French opponent with a lot of experience, will both be there. Dominic Stricker, a young Swiss star, is the face of the future of tennis. He wants to become one of the best 100 players in the world.
Among the 28 players of 2022 Swiss Open Gstaad, the defending champion, Casper Ruud, is currently in the lead. Since his amazing run to the final of the French Open, the Norwegian has been struggling on the court and will be eager to get back on track.
Matteo Berrettini, who was the defending champion and the second seed, had to pull out of Wimbledon because he tested positive for COVID-19. He will be the center of everyone’s attention. Before the break, he was playing some of his best tennis. He won at Stuttgart and Queen’s Club, which shows how good he was.
Roberto Bautista Agut, the third seed, and Albert Ramos-Vinolas, the fourth seed, are both good players on clay, and they will be eager to move on to the later rounds of the tournament.
Dominic Thiem, who won the tournament in 2015, will try to keep up his recent run of success in Gstaad. The Austrian, who is working his way back from injuries, won his first tour-level match in 14 months at Bastad. He also made it to the quarterfinals of the tournament there.
Hugo Gaston, who came in second place in the tournament in 2021, will be Thiem’s first opponent of the year. This could be a tough match for the two-time French Open winner. The 2005 tournament’s runner-up, Stan Wawrinka, pulled out of his home tournament so he could continue to heal from an injury. This was a big setback for the competition.
