Preparing for Grass Tennis Action in Stuttgart: Struff is First off the Block, Zverev Expected Soon
Stuttgart Tennis Tournament Begins, Highlights Include Struff, Predicted Appearance of Zverev - Tennis Match Kick-off in Stuttgart Featuring Struff, Predictions for Zverev's Participation
Get ready for some exciting tennis action in Stuttgart! The tournament kicks off minus the German No. 1, Alexander Zverev. The only German main draw player starting on Monday is Jan-Lennard Struff. He squares off against Italian Matteo Arnaldi in his opening round match, scheduled for the afternoon (post 3:00 PM CET) on DF1 and ServusTV On.
Alexander Zverev is slated to arrive in Stuttgart in the afternoon of Monday, June 10, 2025, following his quarterfinal exit at the French Open last week [1][3]. This marks his return to the Tennis Club Weissenhof since 2019, as he begins his preparations for the BOSS OPEN, his first grass-court event for the season. Fans greeted him warmly upon arrival, giving him a few days to rest and fine-tune his skills before his debut match on the grass.
After his recent performance at the French Open, Zverev is up against a twofold challenge. Historically, he has faced difficulties on grass, having not clinched a title on this surface despite boasting 24 tour-level trophies and never advancing past the fourth round at Wimbledon [2]. Furthermore, German tennis legends such as Boris Becker have criticized his recent form [1]. However, Zverev started strong in this tournament, triumphing in his first match against Corentin Moutet, signaling his determination and resilience on a surface that traditionally proves challenging for him [2][4].
Besides Jan-Lennard Struff, German participants in the Boss Open include Yannick Hanfmann from Karlsruhe and up-and-coming player Justin Engel from Nuremberg. The grass tournament offers a total prize money of 751,630 euros.
