Bad Homburg Open: Superstar players eager to prepare for Wimbledon!

The anticipation in the spa park of Bad Homburg is huge, because the Bad Homburg Open will take place here from June 21st to 28th, 2025 - a tournament that is already making history. How FFH reports, the event will present the strongest field of participants in the history of the Bad Homburg Open, with six players from the top ten in the world rankings. The tournament serves as a dress rehearsal before the prestigious Wimbledon, which begins just two days later in London.

Among the most well-known players are the WTA no. 3, Jessica Pegula, and the WTA no. 4, Jasmine Paolini, both of whom have already shone in major finals. Four-time French Open winner Iga Swiatek (WTA No. 5), who has become the figurehead of women's tennis in recent years with her consistent performance, will also be at the start. Tennis.de highlights that young talents such as Mirra Andreeva, who already won the title in Indian Wells, and other stars such as Emma Navarro and Paula Badosa, who are excellent for their direct game, will also be there.

German hopefuls and legends on site

German tennis fans can be particularly happy because three outstanding players will compete in Bad Homburg: Eva Lys and Tatjana Maria have qualified directly for the main draw, while Laura Siegemund is still aiming for a qualification place. The tournament organizers are extremely happy to be able to welcome tennis legends like Boris Becker and Andrea Petkovic on site. Petkovic is even planning a live podcast with Becker on June 23rd at 6 p.m. on Center Court, which is the perfect additional attraction for all spectators.

The event will also be supplemented with a children's press conference, at which a top player is expected on June 23rd at 2:30 p.m. Here, young fans can find out first hand what professional sport is like. However, members of the media must submit their questions in advance, which shows how committed the organizers are to investing in the future of tennis.

Extensive supporting program in the Baloise Park Village

The supporting program promises to be as diverse as it is entertaining. Themed events will take place directly in Baloise Park Village on various days, including a Kids Day on June 23rd, dedicated to younger fans, and a Clubs Day on June 25th. Bernd Zehner provides culinary highlights as a trendy chef in the Park Bistro, while musical performances make the visit on site even more pleasant. Further details about the program will be announced in the near future.

The Bad Homburg Open is now a fixture in the tennis calendar and not only brings first-class sport, but also a special flair to the spa park. Mayor Alexander Hetjes once again emphasized the advantages of the tournament and signaled that the entire city is behind this event. Defending champion Diana Shnaider (WTA No. 12) also wants to defend her title at this year's tournament and is thus creating additional excitement in the field of participants.

With such a prominent field of participants and a varied supporting program, the Bad Homburg Open promises to be a highlight of the tennis year 2025 - fans from near and far should not miss this event!
