Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini start as the two top seeded players in the ATP Tour 250 tournament in Stuttgart. However, there are a few question marks behind both top stars. Tsitsipas has not yet left any traces of success on grass, Berrettini reached the final in Wimbledon last year and won the tournament in Stuttgart in 2019 - but for the Italian it will be the first assignment after a long break due to an operation on the batting hand .
Tsitsipas and Berrettini, like Hubert Hurkacz and Denis Shapovalov , enjoy a bye in round one, which is not granted to Andy Murray . The Scot, active at the Challenger in Surbiton this week, opens against a qualifier. Nick Kyrgios is back in the tour entourage after a longer, albeit self-chosen break against the strong young Czech Jiri Lehecka.
There will also be a German duel in round one: Daniel Altmaier will face Oscar Otte. Interesting in that the two compete together in doubles. Incidentally, Tim Pütz and his partner Michael Venus are in first place there.
