The ATP 250 tournament in Newport, which begins on Monday, will be the last act of the season on grass. Tommy Paul is the highest seed in the standings and Kevin Anderson will return to the tournament.

Although the most important tournament on grass, Wimbledon, ends on Sunday, specialists in the game on the green surface will have one more opportunity to do so. Monday begins a charming event in the American Newport.

The highlight of the tournament will be the return of Kevin Anderson. The Afrikaner, a two-time Grand Slam finalist and former No. 5 singles player in the world, announced his retirement from professional football last year but only lasted 16 months in retirement.

Anderson, 37, winner of the Infosys Hall of Fame Open for the 2021 season, will face Gabriel Diallo (ATP 140), 15 years his junior, in his first match since last March. If he wins, he will face sixth seed Max Purcell (ATP 64) or Gijs Brouwer (ATP 153) in the second round.

Tommy Paul (ATP 15) was ranked highest in the ranking, which will start the competition from the 1/8 finals. Adrian Mannarino (ATP 35), Ugo Humbert (ATP 39) and Mackenzie McDonald (ATP 54) also have openings in the first round. Defending champion Maxime Cressy (ATP 58) was marked with a “five” and will start the fight with a duel with Alex Michelsen (ATP 250).

In doubles, Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow were the top seeds. In Newport, we will not see representatives of Poland at the start.

The Infosys Hall of Fame Open is an ATP 250 tournament and will take place from July 17-23. The winner will receive 250 points in the world ranking and more than 97.7 thousand. bonus dollars.
