2023 Stuttgart Open ATP Draw including Tsitsipas, return of Kyrgios, Fritz and Tiafoe

Next week sees the Stuttgart Open begin the grass court season between 12-18 June, 2023 with the ATP 250 also known as the BOSS Open a key stop ahead of Wimbledon.

It also hosts a stellar line-up of players with Nick Kyrgios set to return for the first time since late 2022.

The Aussie had surgery on his knee and also had to withdraw from Roland Garros due to an issue back home where his mother was held at gunpoint which also halted his comeback.

But his girlfriend posted on social media that the bags were packed and she was ready to go away for five months ahead of Wimbledon and US Open.

Of course he reached the final last year in a tournament in which he didn't receive the ranking points for.

Also involved over the next week include top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Spending time away with new girlfriend Paula Badosa, he has sent the tennis world into a frenzy.

But it will be back to business next week with the Greek potentially set to face Richard Gasquet in the second round.

Kyrgios will face Dallas Open winner Yibing Wu. While Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe are also in action. The former could face either Corentin Moutet or Aslan Karatsev.

While for Tiafoe, it is Marcos Giron and Jiri Lehecka. Other ties include Matteo Berrettini, defending champion facing Lorenzo Sonego and Zhizhen Zhang faces Jan-Lennard Struff.
