Mallorca’s Grass‑Court Tennis Showcase
What Makes This Tournament Special
Only Grass Court in Southern Europe
Every year Mallorca hosts the sole ATP grass‑court event in southern Europe. While grass is synonymous with Wimbledon, seeing it on the Mediterranean island feels like a hidden gem.
Wimbledon‑Standard Grass in Santa Ponsa
The courts at Mallorca Country Club are prepared with the same grass used at the All England Club. Certified to Wimbledon standards, the surface is fast, slick, and demanding—exactly what pros love.
A Friendly, Mediterranean Vibe
Close‑Up Action with Players
Unlike the massive crowds of London, Santa Ponsa offers a relaxed atmosphere. Fans can stroll just a few metres from the baseline, watch players warm up, and even grab an autograph during daily signing sessions.
Family Day and Free Entry for Kids
Sunday 21 June is Family Day, packed with games, play zones, and activities that introduce tennis to youngsters. Children under 12 get in for free, making it easy for families to enjoy a day out together.
Star Players to Watch
Returning Champion Tallon Greek Spoor
The 2025 winner comes back to defend his title, bringing the confidence that helped him conquer the grass last year.
Spanish Favorite Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Known for his fiery intensity and strong connection with the crowd, he’s a local hero who always lifts the energy of the matches.
Show‑Stoppers Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Bublik
Kyrgios delivers big‑shot entertainment, while Bublik, currently world 10, adds flair and unpredictability that keeps spectators on the edge of their seats.
More Than Just Tennis
Fan Zone, Music, and Food
A fully shaded Fan Zone offers chill beats from a DJ after play, tasty bites, and a relaxed spot to hang out. The atmosphere blends sport with a typical Mallorcan evening.

General admission starts at just 20 euros, and residents of Calvià enjoy a 20 % discount. It’s one of the most budget‑friendly ways to see ATP‑level grass‑court action.
