STARNBERG, March 30, 2026
The ATP Tour continues with three clay-court ATP 250 events in Houston, Bucharest and Marrakech.
The last three US Clay champions, Frances Tiafoe (2023), Ben Shelton (2024), and Jenson Brooksby (2025), anchor the singles main draw at the 2026 Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship.
Shelton and Tiafoe enter as the top two seeds, while defending champion Brooksby is seeded eighth. Last year, Brooksby advanced from qualifying to win seven straight matches en route to the title and saved match points on three occasions.
Each champion is among nine top 50 players and 14 US-Americans, including seven seeds, competing in this week’s tournament field at River Oaks, making up half of the 28-player singles draw.
Rounding out the remaining top eight seeds include No. 3 Learner Tien, No. 4 Tommy Paul, No. 5 Brandon Nakashima, No. 6 Tomas Martin Etcheverry, No. 7 Alex Michelsen, and No. 8 Brooksby.
