The 31st Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic ran for five days at The Hurlingham Club in 2025, and Jack Draper beat Holger Rune 10-4 in a deciding tie-break.
The Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, the grass-court exhibition before Wimbledon, held its 31st edition at The Hurlingham Club in Fulham from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 June 2025.
The Hurlingham Club opened in 1869 and stands in 42 acres beside the Thames. Its Georgian clubhouse is regarded as the birthplace of polo, and the organiser calls its ground Little Wimbledon.
Over three decades the Classic has drawn Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras and Goran Ivanisevic. Its ATP players use the lawns to find their footing before the Championships.
On the third day Jack Draper, then world number four, lost the first set to Holger Rune, won the second and took the deciding tie-break 10-4. Christopher Eubanks, ranked 130th, beat Frances Tiafoe, ranked twelfth, in straight sets.
Karen Khachanov beat Djokovic in two sets on the fourth day, when Tomás Martín Etcheverry also beat Stefanos Tsitsipas. Etcheverry returned on the final Saturday to beat Ben Shelton.
The legends’ doubles brought together Mansour Bahrami, Mark Philippoussis, Thomas Enqvist, David Ferrer and Feliciano López. The Michelin-starred chef Paul Ainsworth cooked for the week in the club’s East Wing.
