The tennis pros Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune will be competing at the European Open in Hamburg next year
The German defending champion and the young Danish star coached by tennis icon Boris Becker will be competing for victory in the main draw at the ATP clay court event between July 15 and 21. “In 2024, I will be serving at the Rothenbaum again, hopefully to defend my title,” said the 26-year-old Zverev in a video message.
Rune, ranked eighth in the world, already took part in the tournament in the Hanseatic city in 2019 and 2021. This year, Tennium is the new organizer of the men’s edition – the organization will be in the hands of the sports agency for at least five years. Tickets go on sale from November 22nd
Women’s tournament in Hamburg’s Stadtpark
The licenses for the men’s and women’s tournaments will no longer be in one hand next year. As a result, there will now be two organizers. “From our point of view, we would of course be delighted if the tournaments could come together again,” said Hamburg’s Senator for the Interior and Sports Andy Grote (SPD). “But that’s not so easy with two organizers. “
In July 2024, the women’s tennis pros will not be holding their tournament at Rothenbaum, but in Hamburg’s Stadtpark. The 250 WTA tournament will take place from July 21 to 26 and thus between Wimbledon and the Olympic Games.
