ROTTERDAM, December 15, 2025 (Media Release)

Former champion and World No. 5 Felix Auger-Aliassime has added the 53rd ABN AMRO Open to his 2026 schedule. After Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, he is the third top-5 player on the entry list. The Canadian will compete in Rotterdam Ahoy for the eighth time. In 2022, he captured the tournament title.

“Felix Auger-Aliassime has a strong connection with the ABN AMRO Open,” said tournament director Richard Krajicek. “Not only did he make his ATP Tour debut in Rotterdam, he also won his very first title here. Considering how often he has already played here, it’s almost unbelievable that he is only twenty-five years old. At the moment, he may well be playing the best tennis of his career, as evidenced by his fifth place, his highest ranking ever.”

Eight titles
After his first tournament victory in Rotterdam, Auger-Aliassime went on to win seven more ATP titles, all on hard courts. In 2025, he claimed titles in Adelaide, Montpellier and Brussels. In addition, he reached the finals in Dubai and Paris (indoors) this year. These results lifted him to fifth place on the ATP year-end rankings.

Auger-Aliassime in Rotterdam
Auger-Aliassime made his debut in Rotterdam in 2018. It was a special debut, as it was also his very first main-draw match at an ATP Tour event. With seven appearances since, he has clearly proven to feel at home in Ahoy. At his second appearance in 2020, he reached the final, where he was beaten by Gael Monfils. Two years later, he took the final step towards the title by defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final and winning the 2022 ABN AMRO Open.

Field featuring Alcaraz, Zverev, Auger-Aliassime and De Minaur
With Alcaraz, Zverev, Auger-Aliassime and De Minaur, four players from the world’s top 10 have already been announced.

Richard Krajicek stated: “In 2026, we are once again sticking to our fixed idea of having several top players participate. That way, there are great matches to see every day. With the world numbers one, three, five and seven, we have an exceptionally strong field, especially when you also take Tsitsipas and Griekspoor into account.”
