The other Top-10 player on the list is Stefanos Tsitsipas (No.6). The Greek, 2021 Roland Garros finalist, will be looking at the Mallorca Championships to continue his growth on the grass tour and improve on his recent quarterfinals at ATP250 Stuttgart and round of 16 in Halle.

Among the main attractions of the draw are three Top-20 players like Canadian Denis Shapovalov (No.15), as well as Spaniards Pablo Carreño (No.19) and Roberto Bautista (No.20). Not forgetting the Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp (No.29) and the Australian Nick Kyrgios, a specialist on this surface, reaching the quarterfinals of Wimbledon (2014).
