Tsitispas top seed in Mallorca
Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and US-American youngster Ben Shelton are among the stars playing at the Mallorca Championships, which commences on Sunday.
Tsitsipas, who entered the main draw with a wild card, will start his campaign on the Balearic Islands against either Yannick Hanfmann of Germany or Argentine Pedro Cachin. In the bottom half of the draw, No. 2 seed Davidovich Fokina awaits a qualifier or lucky loser in his first match.
Former World No. 12 Feliciano Lopez will hang up his racket and bid farewell to the ATP Tour. “In Mallorca I will play my last professional tournament in Spain. Mallorca is a spectacular place and one of the most important tourist destinations in the world and a tournament of the level of the Mallorca Championships helps to continue in that line and I am happy to be able to say goodbye here,” said the 41-year-old, who will take on Max Purcell of Australia in the first round.
