The Boss Open
The BOSS Open marks the start of the ATP Tour’s European grass-court season and is one of the most important early indicators ahead of Wimbledon. Held annually in June, the tournament provides players with a vital opportunity to adapt from clay to grass — a transition that demands sharper movement, quicker reactions, and confident serving.
Staged at the historic TC Weissenhof, the BOSS Open blends tradition with modern presentation. The venue, perched on a hillside overlooking the city, offers a scenic and intimate grass-court setting. Its centre court, surrounded by lush greenery, creates a classic summer tennis atmosphere that feels distinctly European.
Originally founded as a clay event in 1916, the tournament switched to grass in 2015, strengthening Germany’s presence on the pre-Wimbledon calendar. The fast lawns reward big serves, attacking play, and players willing to take the initiative — often producing tight, high-quality matches between established stars and grass-court specialists.
Compact yet prestigious, the BOSS Open serves as both a technical proving ground and a stylish opening chapter to the grass season.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, is a city shaped by innovation, industry, and rolling vineyards. Known globally as the home of automotive giants such as Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, Stuttgart combines engineering excellence with a surprisingly green and scenic landscape.

Unlike many major European cities, Stuttgart is built across hills and valleys, with vineyards stretching almost into the city centre. The elegant Schlossplatz square forms the heart of the city, while modern landmarks like the Mercedes-Benz Museum reflect its industrial heritage.
Stuttgart also boasts a strong cultural identity, with renowned opera, ballet, and theatre institutions, as well as a lively café culture during the warmer months. In early summer, as the grass courts come to life, the city provides a refined yet relaxed backdrop for elite tennis.
