Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and more will be in action at Halle, while Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, Taylor Fritz, and other tennis stars will fight for the crown at the Queen’s Championships.
Meanwhile, tennis enthusiasts can expect to see Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Elena Rybakina in action at the Berlin Ladies Open. Petra Kvitová won the women’s singles event last year, but she’s currently on a pregnancy break from the sport.

Francisco Cerúndolo and Madison Keys are the defending men’s and women’s singles champions, respectively. Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek played at the WTA 500 Bad Homburg Open last season. Although she had to withdraw from the quarterfinals, fans can expect her to play in Germany.
July 1-14: Wimbledon
The grass season will come to an end with the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. The oldest tennis tournament in history takes place at the prestigious All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. However, the tournament has witnessed numerous underdogs lifting the trophy and top stars failing to make a cut.
