Nadal and Murray set to play in BNP Paribas Tennis Classic at Hurlingham
Words: Violet
In the season where tennis comes home to the lawns of London, it is not just Queens and Wimbledon you should be looking out for. The BNP Paribas Tennis Classic, held this week at the Hurlingham Club, offers the perfect opportunity to catch some of the greatest ATP players before they proceed to swing their rackets next week at SW19.
British No1 Andy Murray, who is confirmed for this year’s event said, “Playing at the Hurlingham Club last June was the perfect way for me to warm up for Wimbledon. It’s a great setting and I’m looking forward to playing again this year.”
Along with Andy Murray, a whole host of world class players, both legends and existing, have joined the line up, those of which include World No1 and French Open Champion Rafael Nadal, Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, Marin Cilic, Tommy Robredo, Tomas Berdych, Tim Henman, Pat Cash and Goran Ivanisevic. An event like no other in the tennis calendar, the BNP Paribas Tennis Classic offers top quality tennis in a first class, intimate setting such as Hurlingham, one of the most renowned members’ clubs in the country. It is no wonder then that both players and spectators alike are clambering to be part of the week’s festivities. Owned by global sports, fashion and media company IMG, the event uses the 42 acres of perfectly preened land to host the tennis while offering sought after VIP hospitality.
Each day, three matches take place on centre count with today’s line up seeing Cilic take on Edmund before the ultimate doubles match, Bahrami/Ivanisevic v McNamara/Philippoussis. Andy Murray is set to play Robredo on Thursday and Nadal will battle it out on Friday.
Whether you want to see the British No1 in his last match before he defends his Wimbledon title next week, one of the other World Class players, or just simply crave a day of escape the bustle of central London, we can guarantee you will have an experience you will never forget.
The BNP Paribas Tennis Classic will take place at Hurlingham, Ranelagh Gardens, London, SW6 3PR from Tuesday 17 – Friday 20 June 2014.
