Murray set to join Djokovic at Hurlingham Tennis Classic exhibition, replaces Alcaraz in Wednesday's line-up
ATPWednesday, 28 June 2023 at 14:15
The
three-time Grand Slam champion is the latest player to be confirmed for the
Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, which will be held at the Hurlingham Tennis Club
in London. The former world No. 1 has decided to participate in the grass court
exhibition tournament leading up to Wimbledon, marking his last time on the grass
courts before the Grand Slam event that he has already won in 2013 and 2016.
Carlos
Alcaraz was initially confirmed to participate in the tournament but has
decided to withdraw due to a groin injury. He will rest and prepare for his
participation in Wimbledon.
The event
will feature other top stars of the ATP tour who have chosen to play the
exhibition tournament instead of participating in a regular tournament this
week. The grass courts will host Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud, Dominic Thiem,
Alexander Zverev, Holger Rune, Cameron Norrie, Stan Wawrinka, Frances Tiafoe,
Jiri Lehecka, and Luca Van Assche.
The
tournament will take place from June 27th, and Andy Murray will make his debut
on the 28th against the world No. 6 Rune. Murray is coming off a good run in
challenger tournaments, winning two consecutive titles in Surbiton and
Nottingham, both on grass courts. However, he suffered an early exit in the
first round of the Queen's Club Championship against Alex de Minaur, who later
reached the final (defeated by Alcaraz).
The former
world No. 1 had the opportunity to be seeded at Wimbledon, but his early
elimination prevented him from securing a favorable seeding position, falling
just short of being within the top 32 in the British tournament.
