Quentin Halys is on the BNP Paribas Open entry list because of Rune’s decision to withdraw. The Frenchman has had a mixed start to the season, with the highlight being his victory over Alejandro Tabilo at the Australian Open. He is dangerous when his powerful groundstrokes fire. Former Wimbledon semifinalist Roberto Bautista Agut took Griekspoor’s place. The veteran continues to perform at a good level despite being 37 years old.
Alexander Shevchenko is on the entry list for the Californian tournament because of Spizzirri’s withdrawal. His most notable career moment so far was finishing as the runner-up at the 2023 Moselle Open to Ugo Humbert. Aleksandar Kovacevic, who possesses an elegant one-handed backhand, replaced Munar. The American is among the better players to watch, making him a welcome addition. Misolic’s spot was given to Adam Walton.
