Five ATP Challenger tournaments release official entry lists

Five ATP Challenger tournaments scheduled for the week of October 19 through October 25, 2026, have released their official entry lists, bringing professional tennis to courts across Europe and other continents, spaziotennis.com reported.

Tournaments spanning three continents feature clay and hard-court draws

The penultima week of October features events divided across different surfaces and regions. Italy hosts a tournament in Florence, which spaziotennis.com noted as the least financially rewarding among the week’s scheduled challengers. Europe also plays host to a tournament in Portugal, while the remaining three competitions take place on other continents. Guangzhou and Fort Worth stage hard-court matches, whereas Cali maintains a red clay surface.

Lisbon and Guangzhou entry lists highlight international fields

The ATP Challenger 100 in Lisbon features players such as Marco Trungelliti of Argentina, Jan Choinski of Great Britain, and Zsombor Piros of Hungary at the top of the acceptance list. Main draw alternates for the Portuguese event include Sumit Nagal of India, Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain, and Frederico Ferreira Silva of Portugal. Meanwhile, the ATP Challenger 75 in Guangzhou includes Coleman Wong of Hong Kong and Yibing Wu of China, with alternates such as Yi Zhou of China and Petr Bar Biryukov rounding out the field.

Fort Worth and Cali fields balance emerging talent and seasoned veterans

In North America, the ATP Challenger 75 in Fort Worth lists Jenson Brooksby of the United States and Darwin Blanch among its entrants, with Patrick Maloney and Govind Nanda listed via protected rankings. Down in South America, the Cali Challenger features Nicolas Mejia of Colombia and Gustavo Heide of Brazil on clay, alongside alternates Valerio Aboian and Nicolas Kicker of Argentina.

Tournament schedules remain subject to late alterations

While the initial entry lists outline the expected competitors for all five locations, tournament organizers will monitor withdrawals and alternate promotions as the October 19 tournament start date approaches.
