STUTTGART, May 19, 2023
US-Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe lead the entry list of this year’s BOSS Open. The ATP 250 grass-court tournament will be held from June 10 to 18 at the Tennis Club Weissenhof in Stuttgart. Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz, Tommy Paul from the United States as well as Italians Lorenzo Musetti and Matteo Berrettini round out the Top 6 players in southwestern Germany.
Hurkacz grabbed the headlines at Wimbledon 2021 when he defeated 20-time Grand Slam tournament winner Roger Federer in three sets in the quarterfinals. It was to be the Swiss tennis icon’s last singles match on the ATP Tour. The 26-year-old also played to his advantage on grass in Halle last year, where he won the title by defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final. After his success in Marseille this season, Hurkacz now already holds six ATP tournament victories.
Paul made his big debut at the start of this season by reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open. A short time later, he also reached the final of the ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco, thus laying the foundation for a push up to World No. 17, the 25-year-old right-hander’s best position in the ATP rankings to date.
“The field of participants at this year’s BOSS Open is characterized by many different types of players. This guarantees an interesting tournament and grass-court tennis at the top level. In addition, we still have three wild cards at our disposal, the allocation of which also depends on the course of the French Open in Paris. Regardless of this, the BOSS Open will offer exciting and top-class matches from the first day of the main draw,” tournament director Edwin Weindorfer stated in a press release.
