Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz agreed to play in Hurlingham next week ahead of their Wimbledon campaign. The event may also have the participation of Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray.
Nadal, Djokovic, and Alcaraz have not competed in any grass tournament this season and therefore, they will take the opportunity to add some competitive practice before the Championships.
Emma Raducanu played barely half an hour on grass this year after she got an abdominal strain while playing in the first round in Nottingham.
Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic both sign up to play the Giorgi Armani Classic at the Hurlingham Club next week.
With Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud confirmed, plus Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu possibly also involved, it could literally be bigger than any event on grass so far…
