Diego Elias and Amina Orfi headed the released Grasshopper Cup draws for 21–26 April in Zurich. The final Gold tournament of the season was to use a glass court in Zurich Hauptbahnhof, with best-of-three matches before the semifinals and best-of-five scoring from that stage.

Karim Gawad was the men’s second seed, with Victor Crouin and Joel Makin seeded third and fourth. Elias returned after finishing runner-up in 2025. The women’s draw placed Satomi Watanabe second behind Orfi, followed by Sivasangari Subramaniam in the third seeded position.
