ABN AMRO Open 2026 in facts and figures

During the ABN AMRO Open, the tournament organisation, together with the ATP Tour, collects a wealth of data. Here’s an overview of some statistics from this year’s edition:

The Orange on top

Six Dutch players competed in the singles draw at the ABN AMRO Open: Tallon Griekspoor, Botic van de Zandschulp, Jesper de Jong, Guy den Ouden, Mees Röttgering, and Thijs Boogaard. However, that number won’t go down in the history books. The record dates back to 1993, when eight Dutch players participated. At that time, a quarter of the field was from the Netherlands, and included none other than the current tournament director Richard Krajicek, and Ralph Kok who was told he could enter the tournament as a lucky loser while stringing a racket at his shop. In doubles, nine Dutch players featured in the main draw.

Most aces

It’s almost a tradition at the ABN AMRO Open, usually Hubert Hurkacz is the claiming the most aces in Rotterdam Ahoy. This year however, he was eliminated in the first round, but still hit 25 aces in that match. The Pole was dethroned by Alexander Bublik; the Kazakh service cannon fired a total of 40 aces over four matches.

Lucky loser

If you lose in the qualifiers, you have to wait daily to see if a main-draw player withdraws due to injury or illness. Thijs Boogaard spent two days in the limbo until, suddenly on Wednesday morning, the call came: he would make his ATP debut at just 17 years old. "I had been training, and then at half-past ten I heard I would play Stan Wawrinka in half an hour. Absolutely surreal, you suddenly find yourself on the best tennis court in the Netherlands against Wawrinka. At the very tournament where I sat in the stands as a little boy.” Boogaard lost, but fought valiantly. Every disadvantage has its advantage: Rotterdam Ahoy will surely see his talent in action many more times in the coming years.

Best match

There was agreement among players and fans alike: the quarterfinal between Botic van de Zandschulp and eventual champion Alex de Minaur on Friday afternoon was quite the show. The 164-minute clash was the second-longest match of the tournament. Tournament director Richard Krajicek said: "Botic played brilliantly and certainly had his chances. With a set advantage and a breakpoint at 3-3 in the second set, for a moment there was that feeling in the air.”

Longest match

On Monday afternoon, spectators were treated to two long three-setters. The match between Australian qualifier Christopher O’Connell and Frenchman Valentin Royer went down as the longest of the 53rd edition of the ABN AMRO Open. O’Connell eventually prevailed after a 172-minutes battle.

Shortest match

Felix Auger-Aliassime is a regular in Rotterdam Ahoy, with a tournament victory highlight in 2022. And with his frequent visits in the Netherlands, the Canadian knows the ABN AMRO Open schedule well. With little time between Saturday’s semifinals and Sunday’s final, winning quickly is always useful ahead of the next match. Auger-Aliassime needed just 54 minutes and 16 seconds to defeat Alexander Bublik in the semifinals, which was the shortest match of the tournament.

Media attention

This year, the ABN AMRO Open again enjoyed strong media interest, with 137 accredited journalists and 216 interview requests. On Instagram, all records were broken with over 15 million views.

Daily special in the players’ Lounge

Once again, players, coaches, referees, physiotherapists, and tournament staff were treated to top-notch catering in the players’ lounge. Around 800 daily specials were served during the tournament, with teriyaki chicken being the most popular. In Rotterdam Ahoy’s kitchen, one remarkable order stood out: a dish with nine components on a single plate. And perhaps most importantly for the chefs: nothing goes to waste. Of the 230 liters of soup prepared, mustard and tomato soup were the most popular, and there was also a sushi bar to enjoy for two days. Avocados (324 pieces) were in high demand, and so were cake slices, apple turnovers was a crowd favourite with at least 50 requests per day.

The "Million-Euro Note”

Unlike the national budget leak on Prince’s Day, the "Who’s calling the shots?” contest remained a secret until the prize ceremony at Rotterdam Ahoy. This year, the role was filled by Rotterdam Mayor Carola Schouten.
