Sebastián Báez - main favorite
Sebastián Báez comes to Bucharest as the No. 1 favorite and winner of last week's ATP 500 Rio Open, where he defeated France's Alexandre Müller 6-2, 6-3. The Argentine has established himself as one of the best clay-court players of the new generation. In 2024, he also triumphed at the Rio Open, reaching his best ranking of 18th ATP. With an aggressive style of play, excellent movement and enviable consistency, Báez is a formidable opponent on his favorite surface.
Stan Wawrinka - "Stan the Man"
Stan Wawrinka is one of the most successful players of his generation and this year's Wild Card holder. The Swiss has won three Grand Slam titles - Australian Open (2014), Roland Garros (2015) and US Open (2016) - defeating Big Four players in the finals. He was ranked as high as No. 3 ATP in 2014 and played a key role in Switzerland's 2014 Davis Cup victory alongside Roger Federer. Throughout his career, Wawrinka has won 16 ATP titles, distinguished by a powerful baseline game and a one-handed backhand considered one of the most spectacular on the circuit.
Roberto Bautista Agut - consistency and determination
Roberto Bautista Agut is one of the most consistent players on the ATP circuit. The Spaniard has been ranked as high as No. 9 on the ATP and has 11 ATP titles to his name.
