Our 2023 ATP Swiss Open Gstaad Predictions & Picks
Two-time champion Casper Ruud won’t be returning to Gstaad this year, leaving the door open for all 28 men in the singles draw next week.
One of those who could benefit is top seed Bautista Agut who remains in the hunt for a first title of the season.
The Spaniard had a subpar clay swing in April and May, failing to win back-to-back matches at any event he played. While competition is strikingly inferior in Gstaad, three of his six defeats came against players outside the top 40 on the dirt.
Yannick Hanfmann reached the final in Gstaad as a qualifier in 2017, losing to Fabio Fognini. The German has been playing the best tennis of his life this summer and was a standout performer on grass. Clay, however, is Hanfmann’s forte and is our outright pick to lay his hands on his first ATP title.
Stan Wawrinka and Dominic Thiem are two premier athletes on clay, but both look past their pomp. Still, they retain some aura on clay, and both can cause a shock or two.
Next Gen stars Arthur Fils (already a champion on Tour in 2023), and Swiss lefty Dominic Stricker could look to make headlines. Stricker in particular (5-1 on clay at Challenger in 2023) is still waiting for a career-altering moment on the ATP scene. Both offer great value in the longshot category.
- Outright Winner Tip: Yannick Hanfmann
- Outright Winner Dark Horse Tip: Dominic Stricker
