2026 Barcelona Open Entry List Key Storylines
Carlos Alcaraz was nearly perfect on clay last season, going 22-1 on the surface. His only loss came in the Barcelona final to Holger Rune, who will miss this year’s event due to injury. Alcaraz is already a two-time champion here, and he’ll be looking to make it three titles on home soil.
Tomás Martín Etcheverry had a rough clay season in 2025, finishing just 9-14 on the surface. But this year looks completely different. He’s already 8-1 with a title in Rio. The question now is simple: can he keep that level going against a stronger field?
Arthur Fils quietly put together a strong clay season in 2025, going 10-4 and reaching the semifinals in Barcelona. He’s looked sharp again since returning from injury, and his power game plays well even on slower courts. If he’s healthy, he’s a real threat to make another deep run.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Learner Tien
This is a big opportunity for Tien to make a move in the rankings. He went 3-7 on clay in his first full season, so the results weren’t there yet, but his game suggests he can trouble players on this surface.
Now in year two on clay, this is where you usually see young players get more comfortable. If that happens here, he could surprise a few people this year.
