The top seed for this tourney is Stanislas Wawrinka, who captured his first ATP title in Umag, another tournament playing this week.

The last time he made it to the finals in this tournament was in 2005.

 

The second seed in singles is Phillipp Kohlschreiber from Germany who reached the semis at this tournament in 2006, and third is Igor Andreev, in the finals last year as well as in 2004. Victor Hanescu was the 2008 winner of this tournament and is the fourth seed this year while Jerermy Chardy is fifth. The Frenchman made it all the way to the quarters last year and will be looking for a better performance this time around.

 

 

Nicolas Keifer from Germany has a record of six wins and four losses here and was in the quarters in both 1997 and 1998, but has failed to make it into anywhere this decade. Seventh seed is Feliciano Lopez from Spain, who was in the 2006 finals and has a record of 7-4 here in Gstaad. The last seed in the singles is Paul-Henrie Mathieu who reached the third round in the U.S Open in 2005, and was also at the third round at Roland Garros in 2006.
