After Roland Garros, the grass court has started in Germany, with the Stuttgart Open, an ATP 250 tournament that used to be on clay until 2014, when it became the first grass tournament after the French Open. Last year, it had a high profile final in which Taylor Fritz defeated Alexander Zverev.
The eight seeded players of the BOSS Open (called that way for sponsored reasons) are:
Ben Shelton
Taylor Fritz
Alexander Bublik
Jiří Lehečka
Tommy Paul (withdrew)
Frances Tiafoe
Davidovich Fokina (already eliminated in first round)
Corentin Moutet
This years' edition has already started, with a first interesting duel between Taylor Fritz, second seed in Stuttgart, and Martín Landaluce. The 20-year-old Spaniard defeated Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the first round and will face the American player on Wednesday.
