Former Top 5 stars Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori will be in action at the same ATP Challenger Tour event this week.

Wawrinka, the three-time major champion and Nishikori, the former No. 4 in the PIF ATP Rankings, will compete in the Slovak Open 2024. The ATP Challenger 125 tournament is being held in Bratislava.

Wawrinka, who also played ATP Challenger Tour events in Aix-en-Provence and Bordeaux earlier in the season, will begin his tournament against Maximilian Marterer.

Nishikori, who reached the quarter-finals in Como and Genoa in the past two months, will play third seed Marton Fucsovics in the first round.

Other players to watch include #NextGenATP star Joao Fonseca and fourth seed Jacob Fearnley, who owns a 23-1 ATP Challenger Tour record this season.

There is plenty of Challenger action around the world this week, with events in Seoul, Sydney, Charlottesville, Guayaquil and Brazzaville, which is in Congo. The country makes its debut on the ATP Challenger Tour this week, becoming the 94th country/territory (and No. 10 in Africa) to host a tournament in Challenger history. 

Hyeon Chung, who won the 2017 Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF, plays his first ATP Challenger Tour event of 2024 at the SISLEY Seoul Open.

You can watch all the action on Challenger TV, with live streams and full match replays.
