April 2023

Attention now turns to the clay courts as a series of high-profile events take centre stage in the month of April.

Charleston

The American WTA 500 event in Charleston boasts a formidable field led by world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka, world number 3 Jessica Pegula, and world number 4 Ons Jabeur. The draw features an impressive lineup of five former Grand Slam winners, with Sabalenka joined by Viktoria Azarenka, Sloane Stephens, Jelena Ostapenko, and wildcard Sofia Kenin.

Monte Carlo

Kicking off the men's clay swing is the prestigious Masters 1000 event in Monte Carlo, starting on April 9th. Despite being a non-mandatory Masters event, it consistently attracts a strong field, and this year is no exception, with all of the current top 20 players on the entry list. It marks the first event this year where both Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will feature, and fans eagerly anticipate the return of Rafael Nadal to competitive action. However, due to his ranking, Nadal is expected to be seeded around 13th, potentially setting up challenging draws for the 11-time champion. Stefanos Tsitsipas, the winner of the last two editions, aims to kickstart his clay season on a high note. Former champions Stan Wawrinka and Fabio Fognini have been granted wildcards, along with rising talents Jack Draper and local player Valentin Vacherot.

Barcelona

The following week, Alcaraz will compete in the Barcelona ATP 500, aiming to defend his title against formidable opponents such as Tsitsipas, Ruud, Medvedev, and Nadal.

Stuttgart

Iga Swiatek, the top seed, headlines the Stuttgart WTA 500 event, facing tough competition from players like Aryna Sabalenka, Caroline Garcia, Ons Jabeur, and Elena Rybakina. German duo Tatjana Maria and Jule Neimeier have been awarded wildcards, along with rising star Emma Raducanu.

Madrid

The Madrid 1000-level ATP and WTA event boast a star-studded field, with all of the top 75 men currently entered. Alcaraz, the defending champion, aims to replicate his phenomenal form from last year when he defeated Djokovic, Nadal, and Alexander Zverev to claim the title. The entry list for the women's event is yet to be announced, but Ons Jabeur looks to defend her championship.

April promises an exhilarating tennis extravaganza on the clay courts, as top-ranked players battle for supremacy in these prestigious events. Fans around the world eagerly anticipate witnessing thrilling matches and unforgettable performances throughout the month.

We had a great time on Saturday

"Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time on Saturday and that it all went smoothly. I didn't realise it was better than making a booking in a restaurant, but even then we were very lucky to get a beautiful table for 6 at the Wingfield restaurant. It was the only one available! Thanks for helping me organise this nice day with the family and let's stay in touch for future years."
