After his defeat against the Norwegian Casper Ruud in the semi-finals of Roland-Garros, the German announced at a press conference that he would not play the ATP 250 in Stuttgart which begins on Monday. Hit in the thigh, the world number 22 will need a little rest before starting his season on grass to best prepare for Wimbledon on July 3. Zverev was not on the tournament list but could have benefited from a invitation like Stefanos Tsitsipas or Auger Aliassime to Lyon a few weeks ago. Zverev’s package benefits Spanish legend Féliciano Lopez who is playing the last tournaments of his long career and who will still enjoy his favorite surface a little. On the French side, Hugo Gaston will try to win his ticket for the tournament by going through the qualification box. First step to take today against Moldovan Radu Albot (113th).
