As the French Open draws to a close in June, the tennis summer kicks into high gear with a thrilling grass court swing leading up to the prestigious Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
ATP
The road to Wimbledon begins with two marquee warm-up events for the men: Queen's in London and Halle in Germany. Both tournaments, categorized as ATP 500s, are scheduled in the same week, promising a week of intense competition and star-studded line-ups.
Queen's boasts an exciting entry list that includes rising talents like Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, and Taylor Fritz. Additionally, fans eagerly anticipate the return of the back-to-back 2021 and 2022 Queen's champion, Matteo Berrettini, who hopes to regain fitness in time for the tournament. Leading the British charge is the formidable Cam Norrie, while the presence of five-time champion Andy Murray adds an extra layer of intrigue to the draw.
Halle, on the other hand, showcases an even more formidable field. The tournament features top-ranked players such as Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, and Jannik Sinner. Reigning champion Hubert Hurkacz will be back to defend his title, while fans anticipate the return of last year's Wimbledon finalist, Nick Kyrgios, who is eager to make his mark on the grass after being absent from competition earlier this year.
