Entry List Japan Open ATP 2025 including Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper and Ben Shelton

The 2025 Japan Open will see several top ATP stars travel to the Land of the Rising Sun to compete at one of the biggest annual tennis tournaments in Asia, which is held from September 24-30, 2025.

An ATP 500 event, the Japan Open is the longest-running ATP Tour tournament in Asia. The inaugural edition took place in 1972, and the tournament has since produced a variety of champions including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray.

Hometown hero Kei Nishikori delighted local fans when he won the title in 2012 and 2014. The former World No.4 has been granted a wild card entry to the event, and Nishikori is sure to garner tremendous spectator support whenever he takes to the court.

Reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz is the top seed at the event. The Spaniard opted to compete at the China Open last year, which is held simultaneously. However, Alcaraz announced his intentions to compete in Tokyo this year, and will be present to thrill the crowd with his unique brand of tennis.

Former champions join the field

American star Ben Shelton won his maiden ATP title at the 2023 edition, and the Atlanta native will hope to replicate his success this year. Joining Shelton is compatriot Taylor Fritz, who prevailed in Tokyo in 2022.

Frances Tiafoe, Brandon Nakashima and Alex Michelsen will also represent the United States at the event. Canadian Denis Shapovalov is sure to ignite the crowd with his passionate play, with compatriot Gabriel Diallo also scheduled to compete in Tokyo.

Britain's Jack Draper, who is having the best season of his career, will hope to have overcome the ailment that saw him withdraw from the 2025 US Open in the second round. Draper's US Open opponent, Zizou Bergs, may get another shot at the World No.5 as the Belgian is also scheduled to compete at the Japan Open.

Czech stars Jiri Lehecka and Tomas Machac will be participating at the Tokyo event, alongside Danish star Holger Rune and Norwegian Casper Ruud. Below is the list of entrants.
