After the clay-court season on the ATP Tour culminated with the French Open, the grass court season kick starts with the Stuttgart Open, slated to begin on June 6. World number 4, Stefanos Tsitsipas, heads the field at the Boss Open in Stuttgart, where the Greek is making his debut at an event that also sees Matteo Berrettini compete for the first time since March after hand surgery.
The top-seeded Greek player has won 34 matches in 2022, and he will hope to bounce back from a disappointing fourth-round exit at Roland Garros. Matteo Berrettini, who missed the bulk of the clay-court season this year after undergoing right-hand surgery, returns to action in this tournament as the second seeded player.
Meanwhile, Hubert Hurkacz, Denis Shapovalov and Nikoloz Basilashvili complete the top 5 seeds.
The ATP 250 event tournament is being played since 1949, and this is the 44th edition of the tournament. Like the clay-court season, grass court season will bring exciting thrillers for all the tennis fans.
