After months of preparation, the AXA Open de Sion 2026 is officially underway.

Qualifying starts now
Players from Switzerland and around the world are competing for the opportunity to earn their place in the main draw. For some, it is a chance to collect valuable ATP ranking points. For others, it is an opportunity to take a step closer to the biggest matches of their careers.

And this is only Day 1.
