The tournament, which is an ATP 250, runs from 10 - 16 June and is played at the Tennis Club Weissenhof in Stuttgart. Formerly known as the Mercedes Cup, in 2022 the tournament continued under the sponsorship of HUGO BOSS AG, an internationally successful fashion company.
Andy played here two years ago, reaching the final where he was defeated 6–4, 5–7, 6–3 by the defending champion Matteo Berrettini, an abdominal strain hampering his service movement in the third set. On his way to the final he beat qualifier Christopher O'Connell, Alexander Bublik, the No. 1 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Nick Kyrgios, all of them in straight sets.
The field is headed by Alexander Zverev, assuming he still plays after reaching the French Open final. While two of the top 20 players have dropped out, it's still quite a strong group.
Meanwhile Andy has had pain-killing injections in his back after it gave him problems at RG. This though is nothing new if he plays on clay -
