Multiple Top Tennis Players Withdraw From Halle, Berlin, Wimbledon 2025

Several prominent tennis players have withdrawn from key grass-court tournaments leading up to Wimbledon 2025, impacting the competitive fields. At the Halle Open 2025, notable absences include Hubert Hurkacz, Zhang Zhizhen, Alejandro Tabilo, and Tallon Griekspoor, with replacements like Alexander Bublik stepping in, while Jannik Sinner remains the top favorite. The Berlin Open 2025 also saw withdrawals, including Belinda Bencic and Karolína Muchova, with top players such as Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff headlining the event despite Iga Swiatek's absence. Sebastian Korda, ranked 26th and considered a Wimbledon contender, pulled out due to a stress fracture in his shin, delaying his pursuit of success on grass courts. The 2025 Wimbledon Championships will commence on June 30, but four players—Nick Kyrgios, Sebastian Korda, Kei Nishikori, and Alejandro Tabilo—have already withdrawn due to injuries, with younger players like Ethan Quinn filling some of the vacancies. These withdrawals highlight the physical toll of the season and raise questions about the readiness of some top players for the upcoming Grand Slam.
