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 revealed that both will take part in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, a pre-tournament exhibition that will help them get some practice.
Since their defeats in the second and third round of Roland Garros, the number 1 and the Serbian player have decided to take a few weeks off to recover physically, but they will return to action on Wednesday in this mini tournament that will also feature other renowned tennis players. Djokovic will face Karen Khachanov, while Sinner will face the local player Cameron Norrie.
Here is the incredible list of the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic
The tournament will not take place at Wimbledon's premises, but at London's Hurlingham Club from June 23 to 27. In addition to the aforementioned players, there will be other familiar faces such as Flavio Cobolli (recent Roland Garros finalist) and Luciano Darderi, who join confirmed players like Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul, Casper Ruud, Jiri Lehecka, Learner Tien or Giovanni Mpetshi-Perricard.
In fact, Tien and Perricard will kick off the tournament tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. It will be a good opportunity to assess Djokovic and Sinner's form, following the physical issues of the Italian player at Roland Garros and the tests he had to undergo upon arriving in Italy. As for Novak, he knows that this Wimbledon is one of his last chances to secure his 25th Grand Slam, so he will give it his all to try to put the finishing touch on a legendary career, in a tournament he has won a total of seven times.
