Reigning champion Marin Cilic will return to defend his title. At 36, the Croatian is hoping to prove he still has fuel left in the tank after injuries limited his run in recent seasons.
Daniil Medvedev, former US Open champion and ex-world No. 3, headlines the draw as one of the top names. Medvedev enters Hangzhou on shaky form after a rough 2025 season (so far) and a split from longtime coach Gilles Cervara. His countryman Andrey Rublev adds more firepower, while fellow Russian Karen Khachanov is also expected.
From Europe, French trio Arthur Cazaux, Adrian Mannarino, and Corentin Moutet will test their skills, while Matteo Berrettini aims to continue his comeback after injury struggles. Fans should also keep an eye on Alexander Bublik, who has already lifted three trophies this season and is sure to entertain with his unorthodox flair.
