Alcaraz and Djokovic lead a grass tour full of milestones

Great protagonists face the grass tour in the ATP Tour

June 11, 2025

The ATP Tour 2025 grass season promises strong emotions. Prepared with care until the last detail, the courts wait for big stars in a stretch of the always spectacular season. Corted blows, flexed knees and low boats will be the challenges to dominate to find glory over green, always reserved for authentic adaptation specialists. Classic aroma events are approaching, with the weight of history in every corner. Tournaments to enjoy from the first ball.

With full activity on grass in the coming weeks, Atptour.com lists some possible protagonists in a highly anticipated season.

A classic shelter for Djokovic
At 38, with a legendary race behind the back, there is something that has never changed in the Novak Djokovic season: an excellent authority on grass tracks. The Balkan, active player with more individual titles on the surface (8), has managed to dominate these scenarios with permanent naturalness. Without going any further, the old No. 1 World Cup managed to climb until the final of Wimbledon in the last two seasons, something that has not signed in any other Grand Slam. In an area that rewards the offensive will, Novak has found a refuge to keep the forces equal to purely younger rivals in the locker room. Will it be a first level candidate on these clues?

Alcaraz looking for ‘La Tercero’
No player has had a recent irruption as emblematic as Carlos Alcaraz on the grass tracks, showing a formidable competitive versatility. Considered the new man to beat on whipped land, the Spanish has managed to make the transition to green with a total ability, crowning the last two editions of Wimbledon as proof of his authority. The Murcian is the only player who has defeated Djokovic in multiple finals of the All England Club, a sample of his hunger without limit, and in 2025 he will look for a milestone that makes him eternal on the surface: to raise the Grand Slam of lawn three consecutive. Only Djokovic, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Björn Borg achieved the deed in the open era. After returning to Queen’s an appointment with history.

Sinner wants a confirmation
If there is a hunger figure of glory at this time it is none other than Jannik Sinner. The current No. 1 of the PIF ATP Rankings will need to digest its defeat in the Roland Garros final, where it came to have triple championship point, to land strongly in the grass season. A full year at the top of the ATP Tour, the Italian already host his first blow on the surface last season in Halle, where he will return to try to revalidate one of the most prestigious trophies on the tour. The coup received in Paris can spur the motivation of a versatile player, capable of stepping on at least the quarterfinals in Wimbledon during the last three seasons. The Grand Slam, in the company of Alcaraz, have been a reserved land for their talent since the beginning of 2024. In London, the next challenge appears on the horizon.

Draper play at home
The British happens to be one of the players with the greatest progress demonstrated in 2025, where he has become ATP Masters 1000 champion and a good candidate to debut at the Nitto ATP Finals at the end of the season. Draper arrives as No. 4 of the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin and now faces a decisive challenge: maintain competitiveness in Great Britain, where he will have all the eyes fixed on his shoulders. In one of the most traditional nations of tennis, after the withdrawal of Andy Murray, Sutton has taken the witness as firm No. 1 national. His imposing left -handed game, with an obvious strength in each blow, will seek accommodation on the slopes of Queen’s and Wimbledon over the next weeks. The All England Club is the only Grand Slam enclosure where Victorias never managed to link, a good starting point in the hands of a player accustomed to breaking his limits this season.

Musetti and a site among the greats
The Italian has settled on the first line of the ATP Tour with a portentous elegance, taking his tennis to the world top 10 after standing out in the biggest scenarios. Musetti signed a sensational clay tour, reaching at least semifinals in all large tournaments (1000 Masters, Grand Slam), a requirement that will need to meet in grass if you want to stay among the best. A year ago, Lorenzo played for the first time the semifinals of a Major in the Wimbledon Court Center, demonstrating his ability to highlight in the sport temples. Now, with the Queen’s test as a launch platform, one of the brightest talents of the moment seeks to give an old picture in the British capital: an impeccable setback to one hand dominating the grass tracks.
