The MercedesCup returns in 2021 after getting cancelled last year and it will run from June 8th till June 13th with Zverev, Shapovalov and de Minaur.
The 2021 MercedesCup is one of those events that is going to overlap with the 2nd week of the Roland Garros after the Grand Slam got moved by one week. The event will run from June 9th till June 13th and will feature a strong field of play as of now. That will possibly change depending on the results of players at the Roland Garros.
The top seed is Alexader Zverev who will be joined by
Denis Shapovalov,
Milos Raonic and Jannik Sinner. The event is an ATP 250 event held on grass after switching from clay in 2015. The de facto defending champion is Matteo Berrettini who defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final.
The Italian will not participate in 2021 as it stands but there is potential if the crashes out early from the Roland Garros. You can check out the full entry list below.
