Vacherot Headlines a Strong Top of the Field

Valentin Vacherot leads the Chengdu field at world No. 23, with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at No. 27 and Alejandro Tabilo at No. 28.

The depth continues farther down the list.

Former Top-10 player Hubert Hurkacz is entered at No. 46, while Denis Shapovalov sits directly behind him at No. 47.

Jan-Lennard Struff, Tallon Griekspoor, Miomir Kecmanovic and Botic van de Zandschulp add even more proven hard-court experience to the draw.

Moise Kouame Gets Another ATP Opportunity

One of the most intriguing names on the entry list is 17-year-old Moise Kouame.

The French prospect is currently ranked No. 200 and will have another opportunity to test himself against established ATP competition in Chengdu.

Kouame is the lowest-ranked direct entrant on the initial list, making his inclusion one of the more interesting storylines to follow when the tournament begins.

Lorenzo Sonego Sits Sixth Among Chengdu Alternates

The alternate list is also unusually deep for an ATP 250.

Marcos Giron is currently first in line, followed by James Duckworth, Arthur Gea, Aleksandar Kovacevic and Terence Atmane.

Lorenzo Sonego is only the sixth alternate despite his extensive ATP experience and a career that has included multiple tour-level titles.
