Summary

Alexander Zverev is the defending champion and top seed.
Marin Cilic, a former US Open champion, also competes.
The tournament is the BMW Open, an ATP 500 claycourt event.

The second day of the 2026 BMW Open in Munich is set to showcase a star-studded lineup of ATP players on the clay courts. Defending champion and top seed Alexander Zverev will commence his title defense, entering the tournament with momentum from a semifinal appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Zverev's first-round opponent is Miomir Kecmanovic. Despite Kecmanovic's recent early exits, he holds an even head-to-head record against Zverev, including a win earlier this year. However, Zverev is expected to prevail given his current form and status as World No. 3.

Also competing is veteran Marin Cilic, a former World No. 3 and the 2014 US Open champion. Cilic, who reached the second round of Monte-Carlo, will face German player Daniel Altmaier. Their only previous encounter at the Australian Open was decisively won by Cilic.
