"If this is not adhered to and the players believe that they still have to go to any parties, then they will not compete. We communicated this to the players very clearly," said the Styrian. They have made provisions and have a "replacement bank".

Other players could also be used, such as Rudi Molleker. Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev are also scheduled to compete in Berlin

In front of a maximum of 800 spectators per day, a women's and a men's tournament on grass will be played in the Steffi Graf Stadium from July 13 to 15, followed by the three-day hard court event for women and men from July 17. until July 19 in a hangar at the former Tempelhof Airport. A maximum of 200 fans can be there.

"We have worked out a health system together with the city of Berlin, where we can greet a small number of visitors both in the Steffi-Graf stadium and in the hangar in Berlin-Tempelhof," explained Weindorfer. "This is not just a separation of the locations, but the fascination that tennis in Berlin can take place on two different surfaces: on Wimbledon lawn in the Steffi Graf stadium, which will be inaugurated at the tournament, and on hard court in the hangar.
