There is no time to rest right now on the ATP Tour. Stefanos Tsitsipas is about to play the semi-final at the French Open on Friday and he was just announced to join the ATP500 that will be played in Halle in a few days. Thanks to the postponement of 1 week of Roland Garros, players had their schedules squeezed between the clay-court season and the grass courts stint.
It was the organization of the tournament to announce that Tsitsipas has been awarded a wildcard. This tournament in Halle had already a fantastic entry list with the presence of the likes of Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev, and Daniil Medvedev.
