For this competition, Stan Wawrinka has been given a wild card. He has a record of 3-1 in Antwerp and lost to Andy Murray in the tournament’s lone 2019 participation. Wawrinka returned in 2022 during the clay season after missing practically the entire year in 2021 due to surgery on his left foot, but he quickly dropped out of the top 300. Two victories in Rome elevated him to the 200s, but a run of first-round losses dropped him once more below the top 300.
On his tournament debut in 2016, Richard Gasquet captured the Antwerp crown. In 2018, he also advanced to the semifinals, however over the previous three years, he had fallen in the opening round. The 83rd-ranked player in the world enters this year’s competition with a 22-17 overall record on the tour. He was handily defeated by Brandon Nakashima in the first round of the previous competition, which took place in Florence last week.
Stan Wawrinka and Richard Gasquet are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 ATP European Open on Monday, October 17. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 17 and end on October 23.
