Since the event’s inception, the Boodles Tennis has welcomed tennis stars such as Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras and Rafael Nadal. The stadium is designed so that no seat is further than 10 metres from the grass court itself, allowing spectators to experience the power and artistry behind each shot from close quarters, and get up close and personal with some of the world’s most famous tennis players. 2023 saw the tournament return better than ever, with every player that appeared on court ranked within the top 25 in the world.
The five-day tennis exhibition is situated in the beautiful grounds of Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire and is held the week before Wimbledon, giving guests the opportunity to watch some of the world’s top tennis players as they warm up on grass courts for the iconic British championship, all whilst enjoying the finest cuisine and idyllic surroundings.
The New York Times described the event as ‘unlike nearly anything else on the tennis calendar – a Gatsby-like few days on an estate outside London’.
The tournament has a different feel to other tennis events throughout the year, offering players a more relaxed environment – so much so that prior to the 2023 event, Director of Boodles, Michael Wainwright, joined Sebastian Korda and his coach for a round of golf!
