Check out the key events for the week of June 23.
The Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer rivalry could be renewed this upcoming fortnight in the Wimbledon semifinals on a surface that is most likely to produce a riveting match--not unlike the one at the All-England Club in 2008. That possibility was revealed on Friday when the two men with 31 Grand Slam titles between them landed on the same side of the draw for the year's second major.
Another stunning day of warm sunshine for The Boodles at Stoke Park saw a host of players continuing their preparations for Wimbledon.
Finland's Jarkko Nieminen earned an upset of Colombian seventh seed Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 as the smaller men's event took a definite second billing to the women also on at Devonshire Park.
Pancho maybe at Eastbourne but I'm in tennis in wonderland. The day was gorgeous and the setting so elegant it reminds one of days gone by. If you are London check the website below for some AMAZING tennis all week.
The lawns have been prepared, the champagne chilled and the players are ready for play at The Boodles 2014. Day one, Tuesday 17th June, is set to be a great start to a fantastic week of tennis at Stoke Park with established stars and up and coming talent on display.

The grass-court season may be short, but to say it is also sweet would be an understatement. Two of the four weeks, of course, are spent at the All-England Club.
Before Ernests Gulbis took to court Suzanne Lenglen for quarterfinal action at the French Open on Tuesday, the last eight players who had knocked out Roger Federer in a Grand Slam had lost in the very next round. Not since Novak Djokovic at the 2011 U.S. Open had a player taken out Federer before winning his next match.
Eugenie Bouchard (Westmount, QC) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) tried to continue writing history on Tuesday at Roland-Garros as two Canadians were playing in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time.
For someone who swears she felt like a cow on ice each time she was competing on red clay only a few years ago, Maria Sharapova has made herself right at home on the surface, having won six of her last eight titles on terre battue. It has become her friend and a good friend indeed.
Six of the top eight seeds are through to the French Open quarterfinals on the men's side. And the only two that are not--Stan Wawrinka and Roger Federer--have worthy replacements in the form of Gael Monfils and Ernests Gulbis. The result is a blockbuster lineup in the last eight.
For the first time in history, there will be two Canadians in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam after Eugenie Bouchard (Westmount, QC) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) cruised to fourth round victories on Sunday at Roland-Garros.
Light--or lack thereof--is once again an issue at Roland Garros. As a result, we are still missing one of the eight fourth-round matchups as the season's second Grand Slam hits its second week. Safely through, however, are Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
