ATP 250 Mercedes Cup
Place: Stuttgart, Germany
June 8 – June 13
Surface: Outdoor Grass
Financial Commitment: $618 735
Draw size: 28
Stuttgart grass tournament will be played during the second week of Roland Garros, so players who did not succeed at the first three rounds in Paris can travel to Stuttgart. Therefore it is hard to pick someone as a favorite because of the unknown list of contenders till the last moment.
Who to watch: Zverev, Sinner, De Minaur – if available
WTA 250 Nottingham Open
Place: Nottingham, Great Britain
June 6 – June 13
Surface: Outdoor Grass
Financial Commitment: $235 238

Riske and Konta lead the entry list but who really appears in Nottingham depends on results at Paris. Those who lost in the first round can start their grass season immediately in Nottingham.
Who to watch: Riske, Konta, Vekic
WTA 125 Bol
Place: Bol, Croatia
June 7 – June 12
Surface: Outdoor Clay
Financial Commitment: $115 000
Draw size: 32
Sorribes Tormo and Zidansek should be the biggest favorites of this WTA 125 tournament. But it is possible that some of the unlucky losers from the first week in Paris will appear at this clay tournament.
Who to watch: Sorribes Tormo, Zidansek
