  • Stefanos Tsitsipas will compete in the Mallorca ATP 250 tournament as part of his grass-court season preparation.
  • He faces Peru's Ignacio Buse in the first round, who recently won the Hamburg title.
  • The tournament serves as Tsitsipas's final tune-up before Wimbledon, which begins on June 29.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is shifting his focus to the grass-court season after an early exit from the French Open. He is preparing for the Mallorca ATP 250 tournament, scheduled for June 22-28.

The draw has placed the top Greek tennis player against Peru's Ignacio Buse in his opening match. Buse, currently ranked world No. 35, is a formidable opponent, having just won the title in Hamburg. This sets up a challenging start for Tsitsipas as he aims to find his rhythm on grass.

Should Tsitsipas advance past the first round, he could face the winner of the match between Vit Kopriva and a qualifier in the round of 16. The Mallorca tournament is the final event for the Greek star before Wimbledon, which commences on June 29 and concludes on July 12.

Tsitsipas's primary goal is to gain momentum and feel as prepared as possible for the third Grand Slam of the year. The Mallorca ATP 250 is crucial for him to hone his grass-court game ahead of the prestigious Wimbledon championships.
