Players to Watch
Luciano Darderi arrives as the top seed and one of the form players on tour. While grass is not traditionally his best surface, Mallorca has regularly rewarded players with strong clay-court foundations, and the Italian's improved serving and confidence could make him a genuine title contender.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is a former Mallorca champion and remains one of the most naturally gifted grass-court players in the field. The quick conditions suit his aggressive style, and a return to the venue where he lifted the trophy in 2022 could help bring out his best tennis.
Frances Tiafoe heads to Mallorca full of confidence after capturing the title in Halle. When his game is clicking, his powerful serve, athleticism, and ability to take the ball early make him a dangerous opponent on any grass court.
Alejandro Tabilo has fond memories of Santa Ponsa after winning the title here in 2024. The Chilean has produced several encouraging performances this season, and his left-handed game is particularly effective on grass.
Nick Kyrgios is nowhere near full fitness and arrives with plenty of question marks surrounding his physical condition. However, few players in the draw possess his natural grass-court ability, and if he can string together matches, his shot-making quality makes him a threat to anyone.
