BNP Paribas Fortis European Open 2026 Entry List: Auger-Aliassime Leads Strong Brussels Field

The BNP Paribas Fortis European Open has put together an impressive ATP 250 field, with Felix Auger-Aliassime, Arthur Fils, and Casper Ruud leading the initial entry list in Brussels.

Auger-Aliassime enters as the highest-ranked player at World No. 5, while Fils is No. 11 and Ruud sits at No. 17.

There is plenty of depth behind them.

Francisco Cerundolo and Jiri Lehecka are both inside the Top 25, while Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Alex Michelsen, Botic van de Zandschulp, and Tallon Griekspoor add even more quality to the field.

For the home crowd, however, the Belgian contingent may provide the tournament’s biggest storyline.

Alexander Blockx, Zizou Bergs, and Raphael Collignon have all earned direct entry into the main draw.

BNP Paribas Fortis European Open 2026 Entry List Storylines

Felix Auger-Aliassime Headlines the Field

Auger-Aliassime brings the biggest ranking to Brussels and should be one of the names everyone watches when the draw is released.

Indoor hard courts have traditionally suited players who can take control quickly with the serve and first ball, and Auger-Aliassime has the weapons to do exactly that.

But this is hardly a one-man field.

Fils, Ruud, Cerundolo, Lehecka, and Davidovich Fokina give the tournament considerable strength near the top, while Michelsen and van de Zandschulp add another layer of danger deeper in the draw.

Alexander Blockx Leads a Strong Belgian Group

Belgian tennis fans will have plenty to follow.

Blockx has climbed all the way to World No. 27 and enters as the highest-ranked Belgian in the field.

That changes the conversation around him.
