Libema Open 's-Hertogenbosch ATP 2026: Entry List, When is the draw confirmed, History and Predictions

Cristhian Avila, Editor of TennisUpToDate.com sees Arthur Fils as the champion.

The return of Arthur Fils to grass courts will attract plenty of attention. He is one of the few players who appears to have the potential to challenge Jannik Sinner's dominance. In his first tournament of the season on the surface, I expect the Frenchman to quickly show that he can be a genuine contender at Wimbledon.

Former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev is another player with plenty to prove on grass, especially at a time when the gap between Sinner and the rest of the field remains significant. Based on his pedigree alone, the Russian must be considered one of the contenders. I am also expecting big things from Hubert Hurkacz, who has looked improved since changing coaches. Grass will be a key moment in his season if he wants to re-establish himself as one of the leading names on tour.

British player Cameron Norrie could also find momentum on grass courts, and in his first tournament of the grass season, experience will be crucial. He needs to accumulate victories if he wants to arrive at Wimbledon as a seeded player, and if he can navigate the early rounds, he will be one of the names to beat.

Lucas Michael, Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Cameron Norrie winning the title.

The grass swing is set to commence as players look to make the transition from clay to grass without any trouble. Adding to that, possibly a new champion in the Libema Open is on the cards.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev are the only top two players in action. The Russian especially catches my eye. He reached the final in Halle last year while losing in the 2022 final in this tournament. You just do not know what you are going to get with the former US Open champion these days. At his best I am confident he will win the title, but also he could leave with just a handful of games.

Arthur Fils did not play any tournaments on grass last year after a back injury. Depending on how fit he is, it will be intriguing to see how he adapts to the surface and if he can have the same impact as he had on clay and hardcourt these past couple of years.

I see the champion being changed. Gabriel Diallo stormed to glory last year and will be hoping to get back to his best and challenge for more silverware. Arthur Rinderknech and Ugo Humbert could be outside threats as well.

For the title, I am going to pick Cameron Norrie to get some joy for British tennis in a slightly bleak time. He is set to defend a quarter-final at Wimbledon and will need to be sharp from the off. His early exit at Roland Garros would also offer him more time to get used to the grass.
