If the organisers follow the same scenario this year, the women's singles draw will take place on April 19 around 19:00 CET, and the men's singles draw on April 20 at approximately 11:00 CET. We will, of course, update the exact dates for the current edition once confirmed.

The field is led by world number ones Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, who will be defending her title from last year. In the men's singles, Casper Ruud will be aiming to repeat his triumph.
