The draw has been made, the qualifying competition is complete, and everything is set for the 36th edition of the ATP Plava Laguna Croatia Open! Main draw action gets underway on Monday at 4 p.m., featuring three first-round singles matches and three doubles contests. The spotlight, however, will be on the Centre Court night session, where Croatian rising star Dino Prizmic is scheduled to take on eighth seed Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic in a match not expected to begin before 9 p.m.

The opening match on ATP Stadium Goran Ivanisevic promises to be an entertaining encounter as Bosnia and Herzegovina's Damir Dzumhur faces Portugal's Henrique Rocha. A former World No. 23, Dzumhur is making his ninth appearance in Umag, with his best result coming last year when he reached the semi-finals. Rocha, meanwhile, will be making his main draw debut at the Croatia Open after falling in the final round of qualifying in 2024.

Up next, not before 6 p.m., 2019 Umag champion Dusan Lajovic takes to the court. The Serbian captured one of his two ATP Tour titles in Umag and has enjoyed a distinguished career that saw him climb to a career-high World No. 23. Standing between Lajovic and a place in the second round is France's Luca Van Assche, currently World No. 80, who lifted the ATP Challenger trophy in Parma just a month ago.

The evening session on Centre Court concludes with one of the most anticipated matches of the day, as Dino Prizmic takes on Vit Kopriva. One of Croatia's brightest young prospects, Prizmic has continued his impressive rise up the rankings this season and will be looking to build on his previous success in Umag, where he has already reached the quarter-finals twice. Kopriva arrives in Umag after a strong season highlighted by a semi-final run at the ATP 500 event in Rio de Janeiro and a fourth-round appearance at the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid.

Action on Studenac Arena begins at 5 p.m., where Croatian wild cards Emanuel Ivanisevic and Mili Poljicak will attempt to upset top seeds Adam Pavlasek and David Rikl in the doubles draw. Closing the programme on the same court, fresh off their ATP Challenger title in Trieste on Saturday, Admir Kalender and Nino Serdarusic will also be bidding for a place in the quarter-finals.
