Carlos Alcaraz set to make debut at 2025 ABN AMRO Open

Already featuring a star-studded lineup, the 2025 ABN AMRO Open will add more star power as Carlos Alcaraz has been added to the entry list. The defending Wimbledon Champion will be on the third top-five player announced for this event in Rotterdam. The world number one, Jannik Sinner, had won the title at this year's event, defeating Alex de Minaur in the final thriller. The former world number one Daniil Medvedev has also been announced for the showpiece event, with the Russian winning the trophy back in 2023, thwarting Sinner back in last year's final showdown.
