This tournament is an ATP World Tour 250 event, which is played at Halle, Germany. Nadal will join five-time champion Roger Federer in the draw. Federer will be looking forward to win his first title at the tournament since 2008.

On the other hand, in AEGON Championships, which will be played at the prestigious Queen’s Club, World No. 4 and defending champion Andy Murray will be looking forward to claim his third-title there.
