Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime is on the provisional entry list for the 2026 ATP Beijing tournament, an event scheduled to begin on September 28. The lineup for the ATP 500 event features seven of the world's top 10 players, according to a report from Puntodebreak.
Who is on the provisional entry list?
The initial list for the tournament is headlined by major international stars. Alongside Auger-Aliassime, the field is slated to include Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Daniil Medvedev, as reported by Puntodebreak. The tournament would mark Djokovic's return to competition in China after an 11-year absence.
Are the top players confirmed to play?
The announced list is considered provisional and could change before the tournament begins. Puntodebreak notes that Novak Djokovic's participation is not guaranteed following a first-round defeat at the US Open and recent physical concerns. Jannik Sinner, who missed the US Open with a knee injury, is expected to be ready for the Asian portion of the tour.
Which notable players are absent from the list?
Carlos Alcaraz is the most prominent name not scheduled to appear in Beijing. He is expected to play at the ATP Tokyo event instead, where he is the defending champion. Other players like Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton are also likely to opt for the tournament in Tokyo, according to the same report.
The ATP 500 event in Beijing serves as a key preparation tournament for the Shanghai Masters 1000, which takes place in the following weeks.
