Top ATP Players Compete in the Final Day of the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic

27 June 2026

LONDON (27th June 2026): To kick off the final day of the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, World No. 32 Tomás Etcheverry delivered a masterclass performance to defeat French Open finalist and World No. 10 Flavio Cobolli, in a 6-4, 4-6, (12-10) victory on the lawns of The Hurlingham Club.


The second match of the afternoon saw a thrilling, fast-paced battle between World No. 16 Luciano Darderi and World No. 88 Stefanos Tsitsipas, with Tsitsipas emerging victorious after an exceptional display of grass-court baseline execution 6(4)-7, 6-3, (10-8).


Top ATP tennis players graced the Hurlingham courts across five days, from 23rd-27th June, including Olympic Gold medallist and 24-Grand Slam singles titles record holder Novak Djokovic who played an incredibly close match against American star Tommy Paul.


Sinner, who played at the Hurlingham earlier this week said: “In these exhibition matches, you try to approach them in a very similar way to an official match. At the same time, we are here trying to understand what my level is at the moment on grass. I felt quite good today. We still need to improve a couple of things, but even though it was very warm, physically I felt good.”


When asked about his visit to Wimbledon to meet AELTC Chair Debbie Jevons, Sinner said: Seeing my name next to the other names is truly incredible for me. I never would have thought that I would have my name written here at Wimbledon, so it means a lot to me. At the same time, every year is different; every year has its own story and its own challenges.”


When asked how prepared he feels ahead of Wimbledon, Sinner said: “I know that real matches are always different, and when the grass is new, it plays differently too. It’s always changing…The preparation is going very well. In fact, this is one of the best preparations I’ve had in a long time before a Grand Slam.”


In addition to the ATP players, tennis legends who took to the court included crowd favourite Mansour Bahrami, 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Monica Puig, Italy’s first top ten singles player Flavia Pannetta, and former World No. 4 Sébastien Grosjean.


Tournament Director, Nikhil Waugh said: "This year’s Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic has truly raised the bar. Over the course of five days, the level of play has been world-class, giving fans the perfect mix of high-stakes grass court drama and unforgettable exhibition matches with the game’s greatest icons.”
