BANQUE ERIC STURDZA GENEVA OPEN: PREVIEW & 19 MAY MEDIA NOTES

Tennis Club de Geneve | Geneva, Switzerland | 19 – 25 May 2019

Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €524,340 | Surface: Clay

10 THINGS TO WATCH IN GENEVA

1) Clay Days: ATP 250 titles are on the line this week at clay-court events in Geneva and Lyon. At the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open, World No. 5 Alexander Zverev, two-time champion Stan Wawrinka, and defending champion Marton Fucsovics head the field.

2) Top of the Heap: Top seed Zverev comes into Geneva still seeking his first title of the season. Since posting his season-best result by reaching the final at Acapulco, the German is just 6-8 in his last eight tournaments. Nevertheless, Zverev has been ranked in the Top 5 each week since 11 September 2017.

3) Stan the Man: Since Geneva returned to the ATP Tour calendar in 2015, Wawrinka has appeared at every edition of the event, and has reached at least the quarter-finals each time. Former World No. 3 Wawrinka is 10-2 at the tournament, notching consecutive titles in 2016 and 2017.

4) The Champ Returns: Fucsovics came into his Geneva debut in 2018 with no ATP Tour semi-finals to his name, but garnered his first ATP Tour semi-final, final, and title all in one fell swoop last year. Fucsovics, who beat two-time defending champion Wawrinka in last year’s quarter-finals, became the first Hungarian to win an ATP Tour singles title since Balazs Taroczy at 1982 Hilversum.

5) Going Wild: Wawrinka joins Feliciano Lopez and Janko Tipsarevic as wild cards. Former World No. 8 Tipsarevic reached the second round at Geneva in 2017, but retired during that match. The Serb missed the entirety of 2018 due to injury, but has already earned 3 Tour-level wins this year.

6) Chilean Champion: Only five players have won multiple ATP Tour singles titles this year, and 22- year-old Cristian Garin is one of them. The Chilean claimed his first title at Houston in April, saving five match points in his second-round win over Jeremy Chardy. Three weeks later, at Munich, Garin saved two match points in a quarter-final victory over Zverev en route to his second title.

7) Title Time: There have been eight first-time ATP Tour singles titlists so far this year, and three of them are in the Geneva draw, including Houston and Munich champion Garin. No. 5 seed Radu Albot earned his first title at Delray Beach, becoming the first player representing Moldova to win a title. Juan Ignacio Londero, who won his first title on home soil at Cordoba, is also in Geneva.

8) Solid Seeds: No. 6 seed Adrian Mannarino, No. 7 seed Matthew Ebden, and No. 8 seed Andreas Seppi round out the seeded players. Seppi started the season strongly, beating Top 20 players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman en route to his first final since 2015 at Sydney. However, the Italian is currently on an 8-match losing streak dating back to February.

9) Former Finalists: Three players who have finished as Geneva runners-up in the past four years return to the event: 2015 finalist Joao Sousa, 2017 runner-up Mischa Zverev, and last year’s finalist Peter Gojowczyk.

10) Doubles Duty: No. 1 seeds Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic have returned to the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open to try to defend their 2018 title. That crown is the most recent title they won together, and one of the four titles they won as a team in 2018, which includes the Australian Open.
