Wimbledon 2026 is just around the corner, and Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic will arrive at the All England Club without having played a single official match on grass. However, it has been announced that both will take part in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, an exhibition tournament that will help them get some practice.
Since their defeats in the second and third rounds of Roland Garros, the number 1 and the Serbian player have decided to take a few weeks off to recover physically, but on Wednesday they will return to action in this mini tournament that will also feature other renowned tennis players. Djokovic will face Karen Khachanov, while Sinner will face the local Cameron Norrie.
Here is the incredible roster of the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic
The tournament will not take place at Wimbledon, but at the London's Hurlingham Club from June 23 to 27. Besides the already mentioned players, there will be other familiar faces like Flavio Cobolli (recent Roland Garros finalist) and Luciano Darderi, who join confirmed players such as Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul, Casper Ruud, Jiri Lehecka, Learner Tien, and Giovanni Mpetshi-Perricard.
In fact, Tien and Perricard will kick off the tournament tomorrow, starting at 6:00 p.m. It will be a good showcase to see Djokovic and Sinner's form, after the physical issues of the Italian player in Roland Garros and the tests he had to go through upon arriving in Italy. In Novak's case, he knows that this Wimbledon is one of his last chances to achieve his 25th Grand Slam, so he will give his all to try to put the finishing touch on a legendary career, in a tournament he has won a total of seven times.
