Players

Andy Murray received a wildcard for the main draw of the Gijon Open

Andrey Rublev is the only top 10 player in the main draw of the Gijon Open. The Russian has done well lately, reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open and most recently, the semifinals of the Astana Open. Rublev will look to win his fourth title of the season and has a fair chance of doing so.

Canadian Open champion Pablo Carreno Busta, who was born in Gijon, is the second seed at the Gijon Open and will look to do well after losing in the first round of the Sofia Open.

Roberto Bautista Agut and Francisco Cerundolo are seeded third and fourth respectively and are both capable of challenging for the ATP 250 title.

Tommy Paul, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Sebastian Baez and Albert Ramos Vinolas are also among the seeded players and each is capable of having a good run in Gijon. Andy Murray and Dominic Thiem are among the other players in the main draw.
