Musetti, Bublik, Rublev on ATP Week 1 entry list in Hong Kong.
The Bank China Open, an ATP event set for the first week of 2026 in Hong Kong, added to its confirmed player entry list on Thursday. Joining the field are Lorenzo Musetti, Alexander Bublik, Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov, Jerry Shang, Coleman Wong, and Yibing Wu.
Already confirmed were Arthur Fils, Lorenzo Sonego, and defending champion Alexandre Muller.
Muller required three sets in every single one of his matches en route to his 2025 triumph in Hong Kong, where he defeated Fils in the quarterfinals and Kei Nishikori in the championship match. Shang reached the semis before retiring against Nishikori, while Musetti was a quarterfinalist (lost to Jaume Munar 2-6, 7-6(4), 7-5).
Barring more marquee additions, Musetti will be the No. 1 seed at next month’s tournament. The eighth-ranked Italian is coming off a stellar 2025 campaign in which he made his Nitto ATP Finals debut in Turin. Musetti won two ATP titles this past year and made a run to the semifinals at Roland Garros (lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz).
The Bank of China Open begins on January 5.
