The summer clay court season continues in Europe, while the hard court swing kicks off in the USA.
The German Tennis Championships are an ATP 500 tournament held in Hamburg since 1968 on red clay. Having been a Master Series event, they have Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Stefan Edberg and Ivan Lendl between the past champions. Argentine’s Leonardo Mayer is the defending champion, while Dominic Thiem, Diego Schwartzman and Pablo Carreno-Busta lead the entry list.
The Safra Sarasin Swiss Open is an ATP 250 event taking place in Gstaad, in a spectacular venue, on red clay courts. The conditions of play are quite similar to those of Kitzbuhel (the week after) because of altitude (1000 metres above sea). Italy’s Fabio Fognini, who defends the title, and Roberto Bautista-Agut will be the favourites.
The BB&T Atlanta Open is the first event of the US Open Series and of the American hard-court season. The tournament, born in 2010 replacing Los Angeles, was won by an American player in 7 of the 8 editions, including the 4 titles of John Isner, who is the defending champion and the man to beat.
