Vit Kopriva has played several long and physically demanding matches in recent months, and that workload appears to have taken its toll.

Kopriva Eyes First Kitzbuhel Win
Vit Kopriva has struggled in recent weeks, failing to win a match in three of his last four tournaments and currently carrying a three-match losing streak. Most recently, he lost to Dino Prizmic in Umag last week.
The Czech reached a career-high ranking of No. 55 a few months ago after posting notable results earlier this season, including the semifinals in Rio de Janeiro, the quarterfinals in Buenos Aires, Munich and Mallorca, and the fourth round in Madrid.
This will be his third appearance in Kitzbuhel. He lost in the first round in both of his previous visits, in 2023 and 2024.

Buse Continues Rise on Tour
Ignacio Buse arrives in Kitzbuhel after a first-round loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Gstaad last week, which was only his second opening-round defeat in the last three months.
The 22-year-old has played 16 tournaments this season and registered multiple main-draw wins only three times. His best results include the semifinals in Rio de Janeiro, the title in Hamburg, and the quarterfinals in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger. Those results helped him achieve a career-high ranking of No. 31 recently.
This will be his third appearance in Kitzbuhel. He lost in the qualifying rounds in 2024 and the first round of the main draw in 2025.
