Carlos Alcaraz will warm-up for Wimbledon at London’s historic Hurlingham Club.
US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz has joined the grass-court field for the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at Hurlingham Club June 27th-July 1st.
World No. 2 Alcaraz, Holger Rune, Karen Khachanov, and Frances Tiafoe are confirmed to play at this year’s Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club.
The players will join two-time French Open finalist Casper Ruud and British No. 1 Cameron Norrie at the event, with additional players still to be announced.
The event is returning to the stunning grounds of the Hurlingham Club in London, where the world’s top players will show off their world class skills on the grass courts, as they get in some last-minute practice before Wimbledon.
In addition to the ATP players, tennis legends also confirmed to play include crowd favorite Mansour Bahrami, Davis Cup winner Mark Philippoussis and 2006 Australian Open semi-finalist Marcos Baghdatis.
Also gracing the court will be the X-Man Xavier Malisse, and Swedish champion Thomas Enqvist who won a total of 19 singles titles in his career.
“[Carlos is] putting in the work, it’s simple. He’s continuing to want to improve and has a champions mindset,” Philippoussis said. “That’s what [Rafael] Nadal, [Roger] Federer, [Novak] Djokovic and [Andy] Murray have. No matter what you’ve done or accomplished, it’s about getting better.
“It’s also the way he trains that’s so impressive…he’s smiling and he’s laughing – it’s magnetic! That’s why there’s so many people that love watching him play and love watching him train, and I do too. He’s going to make players around him better, because if you don’t want to be better…it’s going to be tough. He has that champion buzz.”
