Next week’s post-Wimbledon tournaments on the ATP Tour will all take place on clay, including the 2026 Swiss Open Gstaad. Several excellent players, including two-time French Open runner-up Casper Ruud, and Alexander Bublik, are on the entry list. Five ATP stars removed themselves from the entry list, including a former Grand Slam runner-up.
Five Players Withdraw from the 2026 Swiss Open Gstaad
Which Players Have Withdrawn?
Matteo Berrettini was the most widely known name to withdraw from the Swiss Open Gstaad. The 2021 Wimbledon runner-up reached the third round at this year’s iteration at SW19, including beating Stan Wawrinka in his final appearance at the tournament. Grigor Dimitrov ended his run. Following that defeat, Berrettini revealed that he had been diagnosed with chronic hip pain and advised by doctors to rest to ensure his involvement in the events held before the 2026 US Open.
Jan-Lennard Struff was the second player to withdraw from the Swiss Open Gstaad. He reached his maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, overcoming former semifinalists Daniil Medvedev and Hubert Hurkacz before falling to the eventual champion Jannik Sinner. The 36-year-old has no confirmed injury and is likely just recovering after his impressive result at the season’s third Grand Slam.
Benjamin Bonzi will also miss the 250-level clay-court tournament. The Frenchman withdrew in the fifth set of his opening round match at Wimbledon against Gabriel Diallo while trailing 1-3. That issue has proven too challenging to overcome, meaning he cannot compete in Switzerland.
Francisco Comesana and Mattia Bellucci were the other men who elected to withdraw from the Swiss Open Gstaad. Comesana, a clay-court specialist, was set to play at a Challenger event in Germany last week but could not due to an injury. Bellucci missed Wimbledon because of a knee issue that he sustained during a warm-up at the prestigious tournament, and he is still not ready to compete.
