I’m just watching some coverage of Stuttgart and it made me wonder what tournaments everyone else likes to watch. In the past I have only watched Wimbledon but as I’ve gotten older I enjoy watching a variety of tournaments and slams.
Looking forward to Tsitsipas - Gasquet later!
I have to laugh at myself. When I was a kid I would get annoyed at my mum wanting to watch Wimbledon because it meant missing The Simpsons for two weeks (lol). Now I watch more tennis than she does!

For me Halle, Queen’s and recently Mallorca are good tournaments to see what’s going on in grass season. There’s so many differences between grass and clay that it’s a complete scenario. The only constant is Djokovic obliterating everyone hahahah
He’s been like an unstoppable machine! Be interesting when he finally meets his match.
I’ve recently started being into tennis but I only watch Grand Slams. From what I know, the leadup lower tier tournaments are like a warmup for the top players. What would be some interesting tournaments to look out before Wimbledon?
In terms of smaller tournaments I wouldn’t really know what to recommend. I’m only just getting more into it myself. This is the first year I’ve sought out coverage of something that isn’t a slam, I just have matches from Stuttgart playing while I’m on the laptop. I imagine we have quite an interesting time coming up with the current GOAT players getting older / succumbing to injury / retiring. Someone’s gonna take Djokovic down eventually, lol.
Right now, we’re in grass season leading up to Wimbledon. There are grass tournaments on both the men’s and women’s sides up until Wimby starts on July 3.
The men have tournaments going on now in Stuttgart and s’Hertogenbosch. The big tune-ups are next week in Halle and London, and then Eastbourne and Mallorca the week before Wimbledon.
The women are in Nottingham and s’Hertogenbosch this week, Berlin and Birmingham next week, and Bad Homburg and Eastbourne the week after that.
Thanks for sharing these tournaments! Any idea where I can watch them online? And TIL men’s and women’s tennis have completely different tournament schedules
That’s gonna depend on your location. I tend to just Google where I can watch the tournament for free and fire up my VPN. 9News in Australia has a bunch of tournaments available for free
