The 2025 Argentina Open starts on February 8. Taking place for the 25th time, the country’s biggest tennis tournament runs until February 16 — and the names on the fixtures suggest tennis fans are in for a treat.

The tournament is one of the most important and prestigious in South American tennis. Former champions include world number ones such as Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Carlos Moyá, as well as Argentine stars like David Nalbandian, Gastón Gaudio and Guillermo Coria.

If you’re determined not to miss a single line call, then here’s what you need to know about the 2025 Argentina Open.

Who’s playing in the 2025 Argentina Open?

The biggest star taking to the Guillermo Vilas court this year will be world number two Alexander Zverev. The German player is fresh from his third Grand Slam final. Third time wasn’t the charm for him, though: he lost 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 in nearly three hours of play to world number one Jannik Sinner.

Standing at 1.98m, Zverev has a powerful serve and plays an aggressive baseline game, but he’s also a very agile player for his size. This allows him to shine in clay court tournaments like the Argentina Open and Roland Garros, where he reached three consecutive semis between 2021 and 2023, before making the final in 2024.

The two other favorites are 21-year-old Danish phenom Holger Rune (12 in the ATP singles ranking) and Italian Lorenzo Musetti (17). Rune is an excellent defensive player, who can cover a lot of the court with great speed and compact groundstrokes. For his part, Musetti is a traditional clay courter, with long, sweeping strokes generating lots of power and top spin, a great touch for drop shots and volleys, and an elegant one-handed backhand.

Among the locals taking part, top-ranked Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo and former world number 18 Sebastián Báez are among the crowd favorites, as are Davis Cup-regular Tomás Etcheverry and defending champion Facundo Díaz Acosta. 

Other players to keep an eye out for are Chile’s Nicolás Jarry, who made the finals last year; retiring Argentine favorite Diego Schwartzman; and Brazil’s João Fonseca, who was sensational at the 2025 Australian Open.

Where will the 2025 Argentina Open be played?

Since its inception in 2000, the Argentina Open has been played at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, in Palermo. 

Founded in 1892, the club is one of the staples of the Argentine tennis scene, and was one of the Asociación Argentina de Tenis (Argentine Tennis Association) founding members in 1921. The main stadium, where all major games and the final are played, is the Horacio Billoch Caride. Named after a former AAT and club president, it has a capacity of 5,500. In 2016, the court inside the stadium was named Guillermo Vilas Center Court, in honor of the famed Argentine player.

Get there on bus lines 19, 33, 37, 42, 59, 60, 107, 130, 152, 160, 161 and 168, the Buenos Aires metro’s D Line (getting off at Olleros station) and the Mitre train line (getting off at Lisandro de la Torre).

What do 2025 Argentina Open tickets cost?

Tickets to watch the Argentina Open are available through Ticketek.
