See Our MethodologyArthur Géa Headlines the Cassis Challenger Entry List
Arthur Géa leads the initial field as the only Top 100 player on the entry list.
The Frenchman will have plenty of company near the top of the draw.
Titouan Droguet is currently ranked No. 111, while Great Britain’s Toby Samuel checks in at No. 113 and Finland’s Otto Virtanen is No. 116.
Virtanen is particularly dangerous on a fast hard court. His aggressive first-strike game has enabled him to deliver strong results at both ATP and Challenger levels.
Luca Nardi and Borna Gojo Add Depth
The field gets considerably deeper beyond the top four entries.
Former Top 100 players Luca Nardi and Borna Gojo are both scheduled to compete.
Nardi is currently ranked No. 168, while Gojo sits at No. 161.
Austria’s Jurij Rodionov, Estonia’s Mark Lajal and Great Britain’s Billy Harris are also part of a group capable of making deep runs in Cassis.
Nicolai Budkov Kjaer Among Young Players to Watch
Several younger players add another layer of intrigue to the 2026 Cassis Challenger entry list.
Norway’s Nicolai Budkov Kjaer is ranked No. 155 and continues to establish himself on the professional circuit.
Great Britain’s Jack Pinnington Jones is another player worth monitoring, while Jordan’s Abdullah Shelbayh will look to make an impact from further down the entry list.
With Géa leading a field that combines established Challenger performers with several rising players, Cassis should produce a competitive hard-court draw.
