BMW Open 2025: Where to watch, live streaming, broadcast details, and schedule

The main draw of the BMW Open, also known as the Bavarian International Tennis Championships, started on Monday (April 14) on the outdoor clay courts of the MTTC Iphitos complex in Munich. The draw of 32 players has eight seeded players.

Jan-Lennard Struff is the defending champion; he beat Taylor Fritz in the final last year to lift the title. The 2024 US Open finalist, however, has pulled out of the tournament, and in his place, Jakub Mensik will play.

Mensik, who lifted his career’s first ATP title by beating Novak Djokovic in the final at the 2025 Miami Open, is the sixth seed in the tournament. He is projected to lock horns with first-seed Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals. Zverev last year was defeated by Cristian Garin in the quarterfinals.

He is still searching for his first title since winning the Paris Masters last year. Since losing this year’s Australian Open final to World No.1 Jannik Sinner, Zverev failed to win more than two matches in the next six tournaments he played, including at the Monte Carlo Masters, where Matteo Berrettini knocked him out in his first match.

Berrettini withdrew from the tournament and was replaced by Mariano Navone. Apart from Zverev and Mensik, the other seeded players are: Ben Shelton, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Ugo Humbert, Francisco Cerundolo, Jiri Lehecka, and Denis Shapovalov.

Last year in the ATP 250 event in Munich, Struff pocketed $95,700, while runner-up Fritz bagged $55,818, as the total prize pool was $743,798. But this season, as the tournament has been upgraded to ATP 500, the total prize pool is $2,851,662; from which the winner will take home $518,561, while the runner-up will receive $279,039.

BMW Open 2025 schedule

It’s the 56th edition of the tournament, the qualifying rounds of which started on April 12 and concluded on April 13. The final will be concluded on April 20.

The most number of titles in the tournament was lifted by Philipp Kohlschreiber (three). He has also won the most number of matches (35). Guillermo Perez-Roldan is the youngest champion as he lifted the title at the age of 17. The oldest player to win is Tommy Haas (35).

Carlos Alcaraz, after lifting his second title of the season at the Monte Carlo Masters by beating Lorenzo Musetti, will play the Barcelona Open instead of coming to Munich. Jannik Sinner is not playing in either Barcelona or Munich as he is serving his three-month doping ban and will make his comeback at the Italian Open.

Both Alcaraz and Zverev will be aiming to win their respective tournaments to secure themselves in the second position on the rankings table. Alcaraz, who received 1000 points after winning the Monte Carlo Masters, removed Zverev from the second spot.

But the 21-year-old will lose his spot if he makes an early exit in Barcelona and the three-time Grand Slam finalist lifts the BMW Open. Alcaraz and Zverev have 7,720 and 7,595 points, respectively. Sinner, despite playing only one tournament so far in the season, continues to sit on top with 9,930 points.

After the Barcelona Open and the BMW Open, all the top players will shift their focus to the second clay-court Masters 1000 of the season: the Madrid Open. It’s also the first combined Men’s and Women’s clay-court event of the 1000 category on the red dirt.
