Boodles Challenge

Tennis tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boodles Tennis Challenge (former Boodle and Dunthorne Champions Challenge) is an international five-day tennis exhibition held at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, England. It was founded in 2002 by sports agent Patricio Apey, in coordination with luxury jeweller Boodles, to help give his clients more grass court match practice in the lead-up to Wimbledon.[1] It is played in a style similar to the AAMI Classic, giving the players at least three matches each and allowing non-competition players to appear in one match per day. Previous competitors include Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Tim Henman, Marat Safin, James Blake, Andy Roddick, Fernando González, David Nalbandian, Novak Djokovic, Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Andy Murray, Maria Sharapova, Viktoria Azarenka and Monica Puig.[2] The 2025 event featured Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz, Christopher Eubanks and David Goffin.[3]
