Stockholm draw drawn, crosses between the favorites and the Argentines

With the beginning of Stockholm Open 2025 (also Nordic Open) on an indoor hard court, the ATP 250 tournament promises excitement, unexpected twists and an intense fight for vital points in the race to Turin.

The tournament features a field of 28 individual players. In the preliminary analysis of the table, it is highlighted that Holger Rune was named the number one seed, placing him at the top of the draw.

Wait for the winner of the confrontation between Marton Fucsovics and Jesper De Jongwhich is not a trivial crossover given the moment of form of those players.

On the other hand, Casper Ruud appears as the main figure in the lower half of the draw, positioned to be Rune’s main rival in a hypothetical final. He will face the winner of the match between Budkov Kjaer and Marin Cilic, another rival with conditions to surprise.

Among the Argentines, the only South Americans in the draw, Tomás Etcheverry waits for qualifying while Camilo Ugo, eighth seed, runs into Aleksandar Kovacevic.

The tear in the left oblique suffered during the Asian tour is behind him and the man from La Plata travels to Stockholm to later continue in Antwerp, Basel and the Paris Masters 1000.

Far from its best historical position reached in February 2024 when it reached No. 27, the goal for the end of the season will undoubtedly be to arrive healthy and in rhythm at Bologna, from November 18 to 23, for the Davis Cup quarterfinals where Argentina will play head to head against Germany.

Other names in the draw include Tommy Paul (defending champion), Denis Shapovalov, Grigor Dimitrov, Ugo Humbert, Tallon Griekspoor, among others.

With the tournament forming part of the late-season circuit, many players will be looking to solidify their position in the Race to Turin. This increases competitive pressure and can lead to volatile returns.
