Tennis Beginning in Stuttgart featuring Struff, with Zverev Anticipated to Follow - Tennis debut in Stuttgart, featuring Struff, with Zverev anticipated to appear
Going into the tennis tournament in sunny Stuttgart, the usual star player, Alexander Zverev, will be absent. That leaves one amongst the four German main draw participants, Jan-Lennard Struff, to take the spotlight on the first day of play. Struff will face Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the afternoon, starting no earlier than 3:00 PM CET on DF1 and ServusTV On.
Zverev, although not absent from the city, has already made his way to Stuttgart, arriving on Monday. This marks his return to the Weissenhof since 2019, where the Hamburg native is slated to hunt for the title. Despite not being the top seed, he's likely to encounter his first real challenge on Thursday.
Joining Struff in the Boss Open is Yannick Hanfmann from Karlsruhe and up-and-coming talent Justin Engel from Nuremberg. In total, the grass tournament boasts a prize pool of 751,630 euros.

Enrichment Data:
- Alexander Zverev touched down in Stuttgart on Monday, with sources reporting that his arrival was for his first grass training session at the BOSS OPEN 2025[1].

- Despite Alexander Zverev's return to Stuttgart for the grass training session at the Boss Open 2025, his absence in the tennis tournament creates an opportunity for Jan-Lennard Struff to shine in the spotlight, starting with his match against Matteo Arnaldi.
- Remarkably, the grass tournament in Stuttgart, with a prize pool of 751,630 euros, boasts more than just the usual German main draw participants, including Jan-Lennard Struff and Yannick Hanfmann, who are eager to make their mark on the courts, mimicking the spirit of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 20 December 1988 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal, where competition embodies excellence and resilience.
