Ramos Vinolas Is a Past Champion
Albert Ramos-Vinolas has a very good record in Gstaad. The Spanish left-hander had won the title here in 2019 by beating Cedrik-Marcel Stebe in the final. He was also a semifinalist in the tournament last year, falling to Casper Ruud in straight sets; and had made it to the quarterfinal in his only other main draw appearance at the Swiss Open in 2016.
Ranked no. 76th in the world, Ramos-Vinolas is 6-19 at the tour level this year, with all six of those wins coming on his preferred surface — the clay.
