European Open 2025 Day 4 Schedule: Packed Line-Up as Main Draw Action Intensifies in Brussels
Brussels, Belgium – October 15, 2025 — The action heats up at the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open 2025 as the tournament enters its fourth day at the Brussels Expo. Both singles and doubles competitions promise another thrilling day of tennis, with several key names taking the court to book their places in the next round.
After an exciting start to the main draw earlier this week, Day 4 will feature a full schedule spread across the Centre Court and Court 1, with matches beginning at 11:00 AM local time.
Centre Court: Home Favorites and Rising Stars Take the Stage
Play on Centre Court starts at 11:30 AM, opening with a doubles clash that promises entertainment and tactical finesse. Spanish pair Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martinez will face the American duo Christian Harrison and Evan King. Granollers, a veteran doubles specialist, brings a wealth of experience to the court, while the Americans will be eager to cause an upset and progress deeper into the draw.
Not before 13:30, the attention shifts to singles action as Yannick Hanfmann of Germany takes on Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi. Both players are known for their aggressive baseline play and solid serves, making this one of the day’s most anticipated contests. Hanfmann, ranked just outside the top 50, will rely on his powerful forehand, while Arnaldi — part of the new wave of Italian talents — aims to maintain his momentum from earlier rounds.
The following match features Jiří Lehečka of the Czech Republic up against Belgium’s Gilles Arnaud Bailly. For the local fans, Bailly’s appearance will be a highlight, as the young Belgian hopes to make his mark at his home ATP 250 event. Lehečka, however, arrives as a heavy favorite thanks to his consistent performances on hard courts in 2025.
The evening session begins not before 18:00, with another Belgian stepping onto the main court — Raphael Collignon will face Argentina’s Francisco Comesana. The home crowd will undoubtedly rally behind Collignon, who is looking to secure one of the biggest wins of his young career. Comesana, known for his relentless energy and counterpunching, will look to spoil the party.
Closing out the day’s play on Centre Court, American Marcos Giron faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain. Davidovich Fokina, one of the most entertaining players on tour, brings flair and unpredictability, while Giron’s steady, baseline-driven game has often frustrated opponents. This encounter could easily go the distance.
Court 1: French Contingent in Full Force
On Court 1, play kicks off at 11:00 AM with France’s Quentin Halys meeting Georgia’s Nikoloz Basilashvili. Halys’ strong serve and attacking mindset will be tested by Basilashvili’s trademark power hitting.
Up next, Italy’s Federico Cina will take on Damir Dzumhur from Bosnia and Herzegovina, followed by an all-French duel between Benjamin Bonzi and Valentin Royer — a battle of generations within French tennis. Bonzi, the more experienced of the two, will be favored, though Royer has proven himself dangerous against higher-ranked opponents.
Later in the day, doubles action resumes as Brazil’s Marcelo Demoliner and Orlando Luz square off against fellow Brazilians Rafael Matos and Marcelo Melo in a compelling all-Brazilian encounter that guarantees both teamwork and intensity.
After a suitable rest period, Bonzi returns to the court, this time teaming up with Pierre-Hugues Herbert to face Damir Dzumhur and Piotr Matuszewski. It will be a true test of stamina and focus for Bonzi, who plays twice in one day.
Finally, the day on Court 1 concludes with Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin taking on Daniel Altmaier and Santiago Gonzalez. The French duo will rely on chemistry and experience to outmaneuver their mixed-nationality opponents.
A Crucial Day for Main Draw Progress
With both singles and doubles matches carrying significant weight for the coming rounds, Day 4 at the European Open 2025 marks a pivotal stage of the tournament. Belgian fans will have plenty to cheer for, with both Raphael Collignon and Gilles Arnaud Bailly hoping to make breakthroughs on home soil.
As the event progresses, anticipation continues to build toward the weekend, where seeded stars — including top seed Lorenzo Musetti — are set to enter the fray. But for now, Wednesday’s packed schedule promises a feast of tennis action and local excitement at the heart of Brussels.
